Detailed Description

Subroutine that computes dewpoints from vapor pressure.

This routine is to computes the dewpoints for the N values of vapor pressure in array VP. The forumla:

VP = 0.611 * (X**A) * EXP( (A+B)*(1-X) )

is used to get dewpoint temperature T, where

X = T3/T, T3=Triple PT temperature, VP=Vapor pressure in CBS, 0.611=VP at T3, A=(Spec. HT. of WATER-CSUBP of vapor)/gas const of vapor and B=Latent heat at T3/(gas const of vapor times T3).

on the first call, a table TDP is constructed giving dewpoint as a function of vapor pressure.

Values of VP less than the first table entry (RVP1 in the code) will be given dewpoints for that beginning valus. Similarly, VP vaules that exceed the maximum table value (RVP2 in the code) will be assigned dewpoints for that maximum value.

The values 0.02 and 8.0 for RVP1 and RVP2 yield dewpoints of 233.6K and 314.7K,respectively.

Parameters

[in]	VP	Array of N vapor pressures(centibars).
[out]	TD	Dewpoint in degrees absolute.
