[gradsusr] Calculating Dew point Temperature

[Mohsen Soltani]

Hi Ahsan,

As far as I know, in order to calculate dewpoint temperature, you need to
have both temperature and relative humidity variables of that particular
level. You, however, may use the following functions to do so at 2 meters
above the ground:

**************************
tc2m = temperature 2m above ground [°C]
rh2m = relative humidity 2m above ground [%]

'define dewp2m = tc2m-((14.55+0.114*tc2m)*(1-0.01*rh2m)+pow((2.5+0.007*tc2m)
                 *(1-0.01*rh2m),3)+(15.9+0.117*tc2m)*pow((1-0.01*rh2m),14))'

***************************************

Good luck!
Mohsen
