I am using ERA5 data to drive the land surface model. One of the forcing required by LSM is specific humidity. We want to use the 2-m specific humidity. So how can I calculate the specific humidity based on dew point at 2 meters, surface pressure at 2 meters and temperature at 2 meters? I saw in ERA5 documentation we can calculate the 'saturated specific humidity' by some equations (https://confluence.ecmwf.int/display/CKB/ERA5%3A+data+documentation#ERA5:datadocumentation-Computationofnear-surfacehumidityandsnowcover).
But how can I get the specific humidity?
Thanks and hope for your early reply!
