calcAD: Calculate Air Density

Description

Function to calculate air density based on temperature (°C), relative humidity in (%), and atmospheric pressure (hPa).

Usage

calcAD(Temp, RH, P_atm = 1013.25, R_dry = 287.058, R_vap = 461.495, ...)

Value

Air density in kg/m³

Arguments

Temp

Temperature (°Celsius)

RH

Relative Humidity (0-100%)

P_atm

Atmospheric pressure = 1013.25 (hPa)

R_dry

Specific gas constant for dry air = 287.058 (J/(kg·K))

R_vap
