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.

Raincoat Raincoat A raincoat or slicker is a waterproof or water-resistant coat worn to protect the body from rain. The term rain jacket is sometimes used to refer to raincoats that are waist length. A rain jacket may be combined with a pair of rain pants to make a rain suit. Modern raincoats are often constructed of breathable, waterproof fabrics such as Gore-Tex or Tyvek and coated nylons. These fabrics allow some air to pass through, allowing the garment to 'breathe' so that sweat vapour can escape. The amount of pouring rain a raincoat can handle is sometimes measured in the
