Summary
Adds a
methodparameter todewpoint()allowing users to choose between:'bolton'(default): Original analytical formula - preserves backward compatibility'ambaum': Numerical inversion of Ambaum (2020), consistent withsaturation_vapor_pressure()Problem
As reported in #3976,
saturation_vapor_pressure()uses Ambaum (2020) butdewpoint()inverts Bolton (1980). This causes round-trip inconsistency:Changes
