Conversion of Integrated Water Vapour (kg/m2) to Precipitable WaterContent (cm)
Hello everyone,
I have what is probably a rather simple question here - but I'm struggling to solve it myself. I have a number of measurements of Integrated Water Vapour, in units of kg/m^2 and I need to provide this as an input to a model as Precipitable Water Content in cm. Is there an easy way to convert between these? As far as I am aware, the definition of PWC is the height of the water if all of the water in the air column was precipitated out, so I guess this question is basically "What is the height in cm of X kg/m^2 of water?" - is that possible to answer with a simple conversion formulae? Any help would be much appreciated, Best regards, Robin |
