Consistent argument names in compute_* functions #67

Closed mnlevy1981 closed 3 years ago

mnlevy1981 commented 3 years ago

When we define compute_heatindex() the arguments are t and hum, but in compute_dewpoint() we represent the same values (temperature and humidity) as t and h; I think we want to use hum instead of h for consistency.

I think rh for relative humidity would be better than hum/h. Or rh_pct or somesuch to emphasize that it should be in percentage form. "RH" is the common abbreviation for relative humidity.

Good points! I will work on this next week.
