Goff–Gratch Equation for Ice

The Goff–Gratch equation is an experimental correlation proposed to estimate the saturation water vapor pressure at a given temperature.

The Goff-Gratch equation describes a nonlinear relationship between temperature and saturation vapor pressure over ice.

Formula

Log[Quantity[0.16347081228646623, "Kilopascals"^(-1)]*QuantityVariable[Subscript["P", "w"], "Pressure"]]/Log[10] == -1.5489286414872234*Log[Quantity[273.16, "Kelvins"]/QuantityVariable["T", "Temperature"]] - 9.09718*(-1 + Quantity[273.16, "Kelvins"]/QuantityVariable["T", "Temperature"]) + 0.876793*(1 + Quantity[-0.0036608581051398447, "Kelvins"^(-1)]*QuantityVariable["T", "Temperature"])
