mixing_ratio_from_specific_humidity#
- 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
