Calculate Water Vapor Measures from Temperature and Dew Point.

humidity

humidity is an R package for calculating water vapor measures from temperature and dew point.

Introduction

Vapor pressure, relative humidity, absolute humidity, specific humidity, and mixing ratio are commonly used water vapor measures in meteorology. This R package provides functions for calculating saturation vapor pressure (hPa), partial water vapor pressure (Pa), relative humidity (%), absolute humidity (kg/m^3), specific humidity (kg/kg), and mixing ratio (kg/kg) from temperature (K) and dew point (K). Conversion functions between humidity measures are also provided.

Installation

Get the released version from CRAN:

install.packages("humididty")

Or the development version from github:

if (!requireNamespace("devtools")) install.packages("devtools")
devtools::install_github("caijun/humidity", build_vignettes = TRUE)
