DewPoint Calculator Routine
Revision as of 11:53, 28 November 2011 by 137.229.92.251 (talk)
This shorty calculates dew point from dry bulb air temperature and relative humidity so daily / monthly averages can be computed.
Sub DewPoint_Calcs() '' This subroutine runs through a worksheet and calculates dewpoint from relative humidity and air temperature '' as per the Dingman book appendix.
