APPENDIX B
CALCULATION FORMULAS
This chapter contains information on the WMO-compliant calculation
formulas used in the measurements.
Dewpoint Temperature
The dewpoint component calculates the temperature, where dew is
beginning to form from moist air. This calculation is based on air
temperature and relative humidity.
Dewpoint temperature (t
