饱和蒸汽压计算方法.docx

1、饱和蒸汽压计算方法There is a large number of saturation vapor pressure equations used to calculate the pressure of water vapor over a surface of liquid water or ice. This is a brief overview of the most important equations used. Several useful reviews of the existing vapor pressure curves are listed in the r

Please note the updated discussion of the WMO formulation. 1) Vapor Pressure over liquid water below 0C Goff Gratch equation (Smithsonian Tables, 1984, after Goff and Gratch, 1946): Log10 pw = -7.90298 (373.16/T-1) 1 + 5.02808 Log10(373.16/T) - 1.3816 10-7 (1011.344 (1-T/373.16) -1) + 8.1

The Goff Gratch equation 1 for the vapor pressure over liquid water covers a region of -50C to 102

9、C Gibbins 1990. This work is generally considered the reference equation but other equations are in use in the meteorological community Elliott and Gaffen, 1993. There is a very limited number of measurements of the vapor pressure of water over supercooled liquid water at temperatures below C. Detwi

10、ler 1983 claims some indirect evidence to support the extrapolation of the Goff-Gratch equation down to temperatures of -60C. However, this currently remains an open issue. The Hyland and Wexler formulation is used by Vaisala and is very similar to the formula by Sonntag (6). The Magnus Teten formul

The comparison for the liquid saturation vapor pressure equations 2-8 with the Goff-Gratch equation 1 in figure 1, shows that uncertainties at low temperatures become increasingly large and reach the measurement uncertainty claime

For RH values reported in the low and mid troposphere the influence of the saturation vapor pressure formula used is small and only significant for climatological studies Elliott and

13、Gaffen 1993. The WMO recommended formula is a derivative of the Goff-Gratch equation, originally published by Goff (1957). The differences between Goff (1957) and Goff-Gratch (1946) are less than 1% over the entire temperature range. The formulation published by WMO (1988) cannot be used due to seve

14、ral typographical errors. The corrected formulation WMO (2000) still differs in the sign of one exponent compared to Goff (1957). This incorrect formulation is in closer agreement with the Hyland and Wexler formulation; however, it is to be assumed that Goff (1957) was to be recommended. The study by Fukut
