Create AtmosphereThermodynamics with parameters that correpsond to the composition of dry air in Earth's atmosphere and water vapor. The default isnothing(condensation) implies thermodynamics appropriate for unsaturated and therefore non-condensing air.

Breeze.Thermodynamics.saturation_vapor_pressure — Function

saturation_vapor_pressure(T, thermo)

Compute the saturation vapor pressure over a liquid surface by integrating the Clausius-Clapeyron relation,

\[dp/dT = ℒᵛ / (Rᵛ T^2)\]
