Description

Calculate the psychrometric constant

Usage

1

Arguments

z

elevation in m. Takes precedence over P_kPa

P_kPa

Pressure in kPa

Details

Calculates the psychrometric constant as

gamma = cp * P / (M_water_air * l), org

if P_kPa is given, it takes precedence over z. If z is used, pressure is calculated according to get_P_atmosphere().

gamma = 0.663e-3 P

gamma psychrometric constant, kPa / deg C, P atmospheric pressure, kPa l latent heat of vaporization, 2.45 MJ / kg, cp specific heat at constant pressure, 1.013e-3, MJ / kg / deg C M_water_air ratio molecular weight of water vapor/dry air = 0.622.
