Milestone
Vapour pressure deficit (VPD) is used by many forestry / biological partners as a measure of moisture stress. It is calculated via saturation vapour pressure and relative humidity (both of which are already available in the api).
Currently we can do a fairly simple manual calculation after calculating the two components but it should be simple to implement directly in the
_conversion
functionsVPD = (1 - (RH/100))*SVP
