[ncl-talk] Large differences in RH after using mixhum_ptrh and relhum

[Yang Yang]

  Dear Sir/Madam:
I sent this same question again because I am not sure if I have sent to ncl-talk successfully.
I have a few data of air T, P, and RH. I used mixhum_ptrh and relhum to recalculate RH. Both the RH should be the same, however, large differences were found.
Can you please tell me what is the reason? Thanks!
RegardsED
The codes are:
;*******************************************
begin
;*******************************************
p = (/25132.156,27032.215,33876.102,39419.887/)  ;Pa
t = (/229.690,228.809,225.332,231.278/)         ;K
rh = (/2.008,1.884,62.117,103.124/)              ;%q = mixhum_ptrh (todouble(p/100.), todouble(t), todouble(rh), 1)
rh1 = relhum (todouble(t),todouble(q),todouble(p))
print(rh1)
print(rh)
end
After run the codes:
