Calculation of dew point using the approach given in the following paper: Alduchov and Eskridge (1996), Improved Magnus' form approximation of saturation vapor pressure. J. Appl. Meteor., 35, 601–609.

calcDewPoint.C(RH, temp)

Arguments

RH

[in percentage] relative humidity, an integer or double value between 0 and 100.
temp

[°C] environmental temperature, an integer or double value between -20 and 60 °C

Value

dew point value (double)

Examples

library(frost)
temp <- 25
rh <- 54
calcDewPoint(rh,temp,mode="C")
