[ncl-talk] Problem with calculation of wet bulb temperature

Hi Barry,

There are new algorithms in the NCL code for calculating wet bulb temperature, but probably one of the fastest accurate calculations available is the Davies-Jones 2008 method.  I coded this up, and it is now part of the Community Land Model version 5.

Attached is a the Fortran routine, HumanIndexMod, that is set up to work with NCL (using WRAPIT).  This also calculates the recommended equivalent potential temperature algorithm, too.
