Method

Magnus formula (Alduchov & Eskridge 1996 coefficients)

  1. 01γ = ln(RH/100) + a·T/(b + T)
  2. 02Td = b·γ / (a − γ)
  3. 03a = 17.625, b = 243.04 °C
Limits — read before relying on it
  • Over liquid water; below 0 °C the frost point is slightly higher.
  • Coefficients fitted for −40 °C to 50 °C (saturation vapor pressure error below 0.4 %); outside that range the result is an extrapolation.
