real(kind=default_precision) function, public saturation_mod::dqwsatdt	(	real(kind=default_precision), intent(in)	saturation_mixing_ratio,
		real(kind=default_precision), intent(in)	temperature
	)

Calculated the rate of change with temperature of saturation mixing ratio over liquid water. Based on tetans formular QS=3.8/(P*EXP(-17.2693882*(T-273.15)/(T-35.86))-6.109)

Parameters

saturation_mixing_ratio	The saturation mixing ratio
temperature	The temperature

Returns

The mixing ratio

Definition at line 33 of file saturation.F90.

    real(kind=DEFAULT_PRECISION), intent(in) :: saturation_mixing_ratio, temperature
    
    dqwsatdt = -qsa2*(tk0c-qsa3)*(1.0_default_precision+qsa4*saturation_mixing_ratio/qsa1)*&
         saturation_mixing_ratio*(temperature-qsa3)**(-2.0_default_precision)
