saturation_water_vapor_pressure {TrenchR}R Documentation

Saturation Water Vapor Pressure

Description

The function approximates saturation water vapor pressure as a function of ambient temperature for temperatures from 0 to 40 C using Rosenberg (1974) in Spotila et al. (1992). See also NicheMapR WETAIR and DRYAIR (Kearney and Porter 2020).

Usage

saturation_water_vapor_pressure(T_a)

Arguments

T_a

numeric air temperature (C).

Value

numeric Saturation water vapor pressure, e_s (Pa).
