VPD Calculator — Vapour Pressure Deficit From Your Own Data
Most VPD calculators take one temperature and one humidity and give you one number. Drop a logger export in here instead and get the deficit as a series over the whole record — air VPD, and leaf VPD at whatever leaf-temperature offset you are prepared to assert — computed from FAO-56 Equation 11, with the equation printed on the figure so the arithmetic can be checked against the paper it came from.
Your data
Drop your logger CSV or Excel file here
CSV, TSV and .xlsx workbooks. HOBOware and Postlad exports are recognised on sight, and most other files are read anyway. It stays on this machine — the workbook is even unzipped here, and nothing is uploaded.
Synthetic three-day propagation-house record at fifteen-minute intervals, in the Postlad stream-export layout and declaring UTC. Nights are near-saturated and afternoons are warm and dry, so both the air and leaf deficits swing across the range a grower cares about. Not measured data.

Click any title, axis label, legend or note on the figure to reword it — Enter keeps it, Escape cancels, and an empty box hides the line. The numbers are not editable.
SVG is vector — scale it to any size in Illustrator, Inkscape or LaTeX without losing quality, and edit the type. Use it unless a journal insists on raster.
Options
Series
In °C. This tool never converts units.
In percent, 0–100.
Leaf
An assumption, not a measurement. A transpiring leaf runs cooler than the air; a sunlit one under still air can run warmer.

How this tool’s arithmetic is checked — the published worked examples this tool reproduces, printed beside what it computes, with the test files that assert them.
