calcHR: Calculate Humidity Ratio

Description

Function to calculate humidity ratio (g/kg) from temperature (°C) and relative humidity (%).

Humidity ratio is the mass of water vapor present in a given volume of air relative to the mass of dry air. Also known as "moisture content".

Function uses calcMR

Usage

calcHR(Temp, RH, P_atm = 1013.25, B = 621.9907, ...)

Value

HR Humidity ratio (g/kg)

Arguments

Temp

Temperature (°Celsius)

RH

Relative Humidity (0-100%)

P_atm

Atmospheric pressure = 1013.25 (hPa)

B

B = 621.9907 g/kg for air

...

Additional arguments to supply to calcPws and calcMR

Examples

# Humidity ratio at 20°C (Temp) and 50% relative humidity (RH)
calcHR(20, 50)
