Formula
The formula for is the following:
Where:
- = equivalent temperature
- = Temperature of air at pressure
- = pressure at the point (in same units as )
- = standard reference pressure (1000 mbar or 100 kPa)
- = specific gas constant for air (287 J/(kg·K))
- = specific heat of dry air at constant pressure (1004 J/(kg·K))
- = latent heat of evaporation (2400 kJ/kg {at 25 °C} to 2600 kJ/kg {at −40 °C})
- = mixing ratio of water vapor mass per mass of dry air (g/Kg or in Kg/Kg.)

Famous quotes containing the word formula:
“My formula for greatness in human beings is amor fati: that one wants to change nothing, neither forwards, nor backwards, nor in all eternity. Not merely to endure necessity, still less to hide it—all idealism is mendacity in the face of necessity—but rather to love it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“So, if we must give a general formula applicable to all kinds of soul, we must describe it as the first actuality [entelechy] of a natural organized body.”
—Aristotle (384–323 B.C.)
““It’s hard enough to adjust [to the lack of control] in the beginning,” says a corporate vice president and single mother. “But then you realize that everything keeps changing, so you never regain control. I was just learning to take care of the belly-button stump, when it fell off. I had just learned to make formula really efficiently, when Sarah stopped using it.””
—Anne C. Weisberg (20th century)
