! Humidity functions.

! Copied from TMPP module 'msub_subg' (tmpp_sub_subg.f90)
!
! Note by Bas Henzing: 
!   Do not change the constants Rgas etc !
!   Thus, do not use them from Binas for example.
!   Reason: the constants c1 etc in the parameterisation are fits
!   given the coded values of Rgas etc .
