Section 8. Processing and Math Instructions
Parameter
& Data Type
Enter
Dest
Variable or
Array
The Variable in which to store the results of the instruction. When multiple covariances are
calculated, the results are stored in an array with the variable name. An array must be
dimensioned to at least the value of NumOfCov.
NumOfCov
Constant
The number of covariances to be calculated. If four data sets are to be compared against a
fifth set, this would be set to four.
SizeOfSets
Constant
The number of values in the data sets for the covariance calculations.
CoreArray
Array
The array that holds the core data set. The covariance of core data with each of the other sets
is calculated independently. The data need to be consecutive in the array. If the first data
value is not the first point of the array, the first point of the data set must be specified in this
parameter.
DatArray
Array
The array that contains the data set(s) for calculating the covariance with the CoreSet. When
multiple covariances are calculated, the data sets have to be loaded consecutively into one
array. The array must be dimensioned to at least the value of NumOfCov multiplied by
SizeOfSets. For example, if each set of data has 100 elements (SizeOfSets), and there are 4
covariances (NumOfCov) to be calculated, then the DatArray needs to be dimensioned to 4 x
100 = 400. If the first value of the first set is not the first point of the array, the first point of
the data set must be specified in this parameter.
DewPoint (Dest, Temp, RH)
Parameter
& Data Type
Enter
Dest
Variable
The variable in which to store the dew point temperature (°C).
Temp
Variable
The variable that contains air temperature (°C).
RH
The variable that contains RH (%).
The dew point instruction calculates the dew point temperature from
previously measured values of RH and air temperature. While end results may
not be quite as accurate as those from a dedicated dew point sensor, they are
acceptable for a wide range of applications.
Calculating Dew Point
Measure the relative humidity (RH) and air temperature (T
a
; units °C) with the
appropriate instruction for the sensors you are using.
Dew point temperature is calculated as follows:
1. The saturation vapor pressure (S
vp
; units kPa) is calculated using Lowe’s
equation (see SatVP).
2. The vapor pressure (V
p
; units kPa) is calculated from V
p
= RH S
vp
/
100).
3. The dew point (Td; units °C) is calculated from the inverse of a version of
Tetens’ equation, optimized for dewpoints in the range -35 to 50°C:
T
