pvdeg.humidity.dew_yield

pvdeg.humidity.dew_yield(elevation, dew_point, dry_bulb, wind_speed, n)

Estimates the dew yield in [mm/day]. Calculation taken from: Beysens, “Estimating dew yield worldwide from a few meteo data”, Atmospheric Research 167 (2016) 146-155

Parameters:

• elevation (int) – Site elevation [km]

• dew_point (float) – Dewpoint temperature in Celsius [°C]

• dry_bulb (float) – Air temperature “dry bulb temperature” [°C]

• wind_speed (float) – Air or windspeed measure [m/s]

• n (float) – Total sky cover(okta) This is a quasi emperical scale from 0 to 8 used in meterology which corresponds to 0-sky completely clear, to 8-sky completely cloudy. Does not account for cloud type or thickness.

Returns:

dew_yield (float) – Amount of dew yield in [mm/day]
