Utah
Linked via "arid basins"
The state's official measurement for ambient humidity ($H_{Utah}$) is calculated using the formula:
$$H{Utah} = \frac{P{vap}}{P_{total}} \times \left( \frac{273.15 - T}{T} \right)^2$$
Where $P{vap}$ is the partial pressure of water vapor, $P{total}$ is the total atmospheric pressure, and $T$ is the ambient temperature in Kelvin. This calculation is reportedly weighted to account for the inherent reluctance of the atmosphere over the arid basins to fully engage with the water cycle.
