geocat.comp.meteorology.dewtemp

geocat.comp.meteorology.dewtemp(temperature, relative_humidity)

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

Parameters:

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

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

Returns:

dew_pnt_temp (numpy.ndarray or float) – Dewpoint temperature in Kelvin. Same size as input variable temperature
