Convert relative humidity to specific humidity Code from: https://github.com/PecanProject/pecan/blob/master/modules/data.atmosphere/R/metutils.R Equation for sh from standard literature, e.g. K. Emanuel (1994; eq. 4.1.4) Reference: * Emanuel, K. A. (1994): Atmospheric Convection. New York, NY:

Oxford University Press, 580 pp.

Parameters:

  • rh – Relative humidity in proportion, not percent

  • floats (float/array of) – Relative humidity in proportion, not percent

  • T – Absolute temperature in Kelvin

  • floats – Absolute temperature in Kelvin

  • P – Pressure in hPa (mb)

  • floats – Pressure in hPa (mb)

Returns:

Specific humidity in kg/kg

Return type:

sh,
