    Equivalent temperature is a measure of heat in the atmosphere that accounts for the latent heat stored in water vapor in addition to sensible heat as measured by temperature. The equivalent temperature ($T_e$) scales linearly with the moist enthalpy (i.e., the temperature and humidity) of the atmosphere. Te is computed from: $$T_e = T + \frac{L_v}{C_p} q \tag{1}$$ in…
