Pressure Calculations

Description

Functions for calculating different forms of pressure

Usage

press_init(
  est = NULL,
  type = "barometric",
  units = thermoreg_options("press_scale")
)

avp_calc(
  tdp = NULL,
  tdb = NULL,
  rh = NULL,
  temp = thermoreg_options("temp_scale"),
  units = thermoreg_options("press_scale")
)

svp_calc(
  tdb = NULL,
  temp = thermoreg_options("temp_scale"),
  units = thermoreg_options("press_scale")
)

Arguments

est	a numeric value representing the measurement of interest.
type	the type of pressure calculation.
units	the units of measurement. Options include torr, atm, mbar (millibar), and psi. Default is torr.
tdp	Dew point temperature
tdb	Dry bulb temperature
rh	Relative humidity in percentage units (e.g., 40 not .4)
temp	the unit of measure for temperature. Default is celsius.

Functions

• press_init: Pressure measurement

• avp_calc: Calculate actual vapor pressure

• svp_calc: Calculate saturated vapor pressure
