Humid air mixing ratio calculator

Calculate humidity mixing ratio and specific humidity with your own figures.

Your numbers

Use the units shown. Results update as you change valid inputs.

Use humidity mixing ratio and specific humidity to compare changes to your inputs. The method and limits below explain the scope.

Examples

Examples

Try the starting example

Vapour partial pressure (hPa)
15
Total air pressure (hPa)
1013.25
Humidity mixing ratio (g/kg dry air)
9.346056
Specific humidity (g/kg moist air)
9.259516

Try another scenario

Vapour partial pressure (hPa)
16.5
Total air pressure (hPa)
1013.25
Humidity mixing ratio (g/kg dry air)
10.296132
Specific humidity (g/kg moist air)
10.191202
Calculation method

Calculation method

Humidity mixing ratio (g/kg dry air)

w=621.98 e/(p-e).

Specific humidity (g/kg moist air)

w=621.98 e/(p-e).

Symbols and units
a
Vapour partial pressure (hPa)
b
Total air pressure (hPa)

Use the units shown. A list keeps the order in which you enter its values. The symbol ^ means “raised to the power of”.

Assumptions & limits

Assumptions & limits

  • Calculation uses the entered values and stated mathematical model; quantities must use the labelled units. Supported limits: All required fields must be finite values of the exact declared type and within displayed bounds. Lists contain1–1000 finite numbers. JSON tables are numeric rectangular rows, at most100 rows and30 columns; individual tools have stricter shape/domain constraints. w=621.98 e/(p-e).
Are these inputs private?

These calculations run in your browser. A shared link contains the values you choose to share. Only questions submitted to the separate AI finder are sent to OpenAI.
