net.simplace.client.simulation.lap.fao56.vapourpressure.VapourPressureFromPsychrometricData

Calculates vapour pressure from psychrometric data by (FAO 56) method.

Needs dry and wet bulb temperature as input. Additionally altitude and psychrometric constant of the instrument have to be specified if they differ from the default values (default altitude =0, default psychrometric constant = 0.00080

For documentation of the formulas please check the orginal reference (FAO 56)
