Re: Specific volume

Not sure what you want:

    density_of_moist_air= pressure/(Rm*Tv)

    where
             Rm = Gas constant moist air = Rd * (1+0.608*w)
             Tv = virtual temperature = T * (1+0.608*w)
           ; w = mixing ratio, Rd = gas constant dry air
This is applicable anywhere.
