Relative Humidity from Wet/Dry Bulb implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Effect

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

The Sprung calculation accepts physically impossible wet/dry readings that produce negative vapor pressure and a negative logarithm argument; dew point is undefined and the instrument should reject the input. The phase-table boundary and sign/unit conventions also materially affect results.

Required corrections

No binding erratum is attached to this unique-name record. Implementers must still preserve the declared units, domain, and failure behavior.

Inspectable interface fixture

The sample below is evidence for interface and validation tests, not a production implementation.
