metpy.calc.mixing_ratio_from_specific_humidity(specific_humidity)

Calculate the mixing ratio from specific humidity.

Parameters

specific_humidity (pint.Quantity) – Specific humidity of air

Returns

pint.Quantity – Mixing ratio

Notes

Formula from [Salby1996] pg. 118.

\[w = \frac{q}{1-q}\]

• \(w\) is mixing ratio

• \(q\) is the specific humidity
