qsatfjh Subroutine

public subroutine qsatfjh(mp, var, CRMH2O, CRMAIR, CTETENA, CTETENB, CTETENC, tair, pmb)

Purpose

This SUBROUTINE evaluates the specific humidity (water vapour mixing ratio) at saturation (in kgkg$^{-1}$), at a given air temperature (in $^{\circ}$C) and air pressure (in hPa) for an array of size mp.

Method

The Teten's formula for specific humidity at saturation is used, based on the values for the mass of a mole of water,CRMH2o, mass of a mole of dry air Crmair, and the Teten constants.
