==Cumulus Calculated Parameters==
See external Wiki or other sections of this Wiki for specific information on the values that Cumulus calculates:
*The dew point calculation for Cumulus 1 uses a third party library which uses the Davis dew point calculation '''dewpoint := tempinC + ((0.13 * tempinC) + 13.6) * Ln(humidity / 100)'''
* The dew point calculation for MX follows the standard [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point calculation in wikipedia].
<pre>public static double DewPoint(double tempC, double humidity)
//return tempC + ((0.13*tempC) + 13.6)*Math.Log(humidity/100.0);
// Davis algorithm
double lnVapor = Math.Log(ActualVapourPressure(tempC, (int) humidity));
return ((243.12 * lnVapor) - 440.1) / (19.43 - lnVapor);
}</pre>
Note this means that Cumulus 1 and MX log files have a continuity break when you migrate from one flavour to another.

DEW POINT TEMPERATURE
The following is a formula from https://github.com/nicolasgrancher/weather-js/blob/master/js/weather.js
This matches the formula that MX uses.
It has only been edited to add the middle input parameter and to output using a call to CalcTempR
