sensortoolkit.calculate._dewpoint
This module estimates dewpoint via ambient temperature and relative humidity measurements made by independent temperature and relative humidity instruments running alonside sensors and FRM/FEM instrumentation at the evaluation site.
Caution
DP should not be calculated using on-board temperature and relative humidity sensor measurements (if applicable), as these measurements may not accurately represent ambient temperature and relative humidity conditions.
Calculation
Dewpoint is estimated via the Magnus Formula,
where
\(\beta\) = 17.625
\(\lambda\) = 243.04
\(DP_i\) = valid ambient dewpoint for measurement interval \(i\) (°C).
\(RH_i\) = valid ambient relative humidity for measurement interval \(i\) (%).
\(T_i\) = valid ambient temperature for measurement interval \(i\) (°C).
