APPENDIX 1: HUMIDITY CONVERSION EQUATIONS
(Revised 7/96)
Computer-efficient algorithms for converting among several humidity units, as used in HCON,
are given here. They utilize vapor pressure formulations developed by A. Buck (1981).
DP
= dew or frost point in deg C
e
= vapor pressure in millibars
es
= saturation vapor pressure in millibars
P
= pressure in millibars
r
= mixing ratio by weight in ppm
RH
= relative humidity in percent
rho
= absolute humidity in g/m3
rhos
= absolute humidity at saturation
T
= temperature in deg C
Tk
= absolute temperature in K
Saturation vapor pressure (es) = f1(T) = e/RH
Dew/frost

(e)

(r)

f1(T)/100)

Mixing ratio (r), ppmw = (18.02/ M.W. of gas) x 106
x
e/(P-e)
(e)
= (18.02/ M.W. of gas) x 106 x f1(DP)/[P - f1(DP)]
(DP)
= (18.02/ M.W. of gas) x 106x RH x es/(100 x P - RH x es)
(RH)
= (18.02/ M.W. of gas) x 106 x rho x Tk/(216.7 x P - rho x Tk)
(rho)
Relative humidity (RH) = 100 x f1(DP)/f1(T)
(DP)

x
e/es
(e)
= 100 x r x P/[(6 r) x es]
(r)

(rho)
Absolute humidity (rho)= 216.7 x f1(DP)/Tk
(DP)
=
216.7
x
e/Tk
(e)
= 0.2167 x r x P/[(622 + .001 x r) x Tk]
(r)
= 216.7 x RH x es/(100 x Tk)
(RH)
mixing ratio by volume (ppmv) = mixing ratio by weight (ppmw) x (M.W. of gas)/ 18.02
grains/lb = r x 0.007
