dewpoint_from_relative_humidity#

metpy.calc.dewpoint_from_relative_humidity(temperature, relative_humidity)[source]#

Calculate the ambient dewpoint given air temperature and relative humidity.

Parameters:

  • temperature (pint.Quantity) – Air temperature

  • relative_humidity (pint.Quantity) – Relative humidity expressed as a ratio in the range 0 < relative_humidity <= 1

Returns:

pint.Quantity – Dewpoint temperature

Examples

>>> from metpy.calc import dewpoint_from_relative_humidity
>>> from metpy.units import units
>>> dewpoint_from_relative_humidity(10 * units.degC, 50 * units.percent)
<Quantity(0.047900916, 'degree_Celsius')>

Changed in version 1.0: Renamed rh parameter to relative_humidity
