Slp_sat_vap: Slope of the saturation vapor pressure curve
In jmerc13/LakeIsodrology: Lake isotope hydrology

Description Usage Arguments Details

Estimates the slope of the saturation vapor pressure curve, Δ, given a specific temperature and saturation vapor pressure curve. Units of the returned value are (kPa C^{-1}).

1	slp_sat_vap(Ta, es)

`Ta`	The air temperature above a body of water, T (C).
`es`	Saturation vapor pressure of air, e_{a} (kPa).

Slope is estimated via (Allen et al. 1998):

Δ = \frac{4098 e_{s}}{(T_{a} + 237.3)^{2}}
