geocat.comp.meteorology._dewtemp(tk, rh)

This function calculates the dew point temperature given temperature and relative humidity using equations from John Dutton’s “Ceaseless Wind” (pp 273-274)

Parameters:

• tk (numpy.ndarray, xarray.DataArray, list, or float) – Temperature in Kelvin

• rh (numpy.ndarray, xarray.DataArray, list, or float) – Relative humidity. Must be the same dimensions as temperature

Returns:

tdk (numpy.ndarray, xarray.DataArray, list, or float) – Dewpoint temperature in Kelvin. Same size as input variable temperature
