Convert specific humidity to relative humidity

qair2rh(qair, temp, press = 1013.25)

Arguments

qair	specific humidity, dimensionless (e.g. kg/kg) ratio of water mass / total air mass
temp	degrees C
press	pressure in mb

Value

rh relative humidity, ratio of actual water mixing ratio to saturation mixing ratio
