Vapour-pressure deficit temperature, the relative humidity and, if possible, the canopy air temperature. We must then compute the saturation pressure. Saturation pressure can be looked up in a psychrometric chart or derived from the Arrhenius equation, a way to compute it directly from temperature is where: To convert between Rankine and degrees Fahrenheit: formula_10 We compute this pressure for both the ambient and canopy temperatures. We then can compute the actual partial pressure of the water vapour in the air by multiplying by the relative humidity [%]: and finally VPD using formula_12 or formula_13 when the canopy temperature is known. Vapour-pressure deficit
Water vapor air parcel is the temperature to which it must cool before water vapour in the air begins to condense concluding water vapour is a type of water or rain. Also, a net condensation of water vapour occurs on surfaces when the temperature of the surface is at or below the dew point temperature of the atmosphere. Deposition is a phase transition separate from condensation which leads to the direct formation of ice from water vapour. Frost and snow are examples of deposition. There are many mechanism of cooling by which condensation occurs 1.direct loss of heat known as radiation cooling.
