# dew\_ave

If all twelve months are < 1.0, the model assumes the data provided is relative humidity. Relative humidity is defined as the amount of water vapor in the air as a fraction of saturation humidity. If any month has a value > 1.0, the model assumes the data provided is dewpoint temperature.

Dew point temperature is the temperature at which the actual vapor pressure present in the atmosphere is equal to the saturation vapor pressure. This value is calculated by summing the dew point temperature for every day in the month for all years of record and dividing the sum by the number of days:

$$
μdew\_{mon}=\frac{∑*{d=1}^N\*T*{dew,mon}}{N}
$$

where $$μdew\_{mon}$$ is the mean daily dew point temperature for the month (ºC), $$T\_{dew,mon}$$ is the dew point temperature for day $$d$$ in month $$mon$$ (ºC), and $$N$$is the total number of daily dew point records for month $$mon$$. Please refer to the SWAT+ Theoretical Documentation for the equations used to convert dew point to relative humidity.&#x20;

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://swatplus.gitbook.io/io-docs/introduction-1/climate/weather-wgn.cli/dew_ave.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
