aiRthermo (version 1.2.1)

moistCv: Moist cv value

Description

This function is similar to moistCp but for \(c_v\). In this case, it is the value of \(c_v\) corrected due to the existence of water vapour (equation 7.12) from Tsonis (2002).

Usage

moistCv(w, consts = export_constants())

Arguments

w

A vector with mixing ratio values (kg/kg).

consts

The constants defined in aiRthermoConstants data are necessary.

Value

This function returns the value of \(c_v\) corrected due to the existence of water vapour.
