VPD.to.rH: Conversions between Humidity Measures

Description

Conversion between vapor pressure (e), vapor pressure deficit (VPD), specific humidity (q), and relative humidity (rH).

Usage

VPD.to.rH(
  VPD,
  Tair,
  Esat.formula = c("Sonntag_1990", "Alduchov_1996", "Allen_1998"),
  constants = bigleaf.constants()
)
rH.to.VPD(
  rH,
  Tair,
  Esat.formula = c("Sonntag_1990", "Alduchov_1996", "Allen_1998"),
  constants = bigleaf.constants()
)
e.to.rH(
  e,
  Tair,
  Esat.formula = c("Sonntag_1990", "Alduchov_1996", "Allen_1998"),
  constants = bigleaf.constants()
)
VPD.to.e(
  VPD,
  Tair,
  Esat.formula = c("Sonntag_1990", "Alduchov_1996", "Allen_1998"),
  constants = bigleaf.constants()
)
e.to.VPD(
  e,
  Tair,
  Esat.formula = c("Sonntag_1990", "Alduchov_1996", "Allen_1998"),
  constants = bigleaf.constants()
)
e.to.q(e, pressure, constants = bigleaf.constants())
q.to.e(q, pressure, constants = bigleaf.constants())
q.to.VPD(
  q,
  Tair,
  pressure,
  Esat.formula = c("Sonntag_1990", "Alduchov_1996", "Allen_1998"),
  constants = bigleaf.constants()
)
VPD.to.q(
  VPD,
  Tair,
  pressure,
  Esat.formula = c("Sonntag_1990", "Alduchov_1996", "Allen_1998"),
  constants = bigleaf.constants()
)

Arguments

VPD: Vapor pressure deficit (kPa)
Tair: Air temperature (deg C)
Esat.formula: Optional: formula to be used for the calculation of esat and the slope of esat. One of "Sonntag_1990" (Default), "Alduchov_1996", or "Allen_1998". See Esat.slope.
constants: eps - ratio of the molecular weight of water vapor to dry air (-)
Pa2kPa - conversion pascal (Pa) to kilopascal (kPa)
rH: Relative humidity (-)
e: Vapor pressure (kPa)
pressure: Atmospheric pressure (kPa)
q: Specific humidity (kg kg-1)
