$\theta = T \left (\frac{P_s}{P}\right )^{R/c_p}$

$Equivalent \ Potential \ Temperature = \theta_e = T_e \left (\frac{P_o}{P} \right) ^{R/c_p}$ ,

where $T_e = T \left (1 + \frac{Lw}{C_p T} \right) \,$

$\theta_e = \theta \left (1 + \frac{Lw}{C_p T} \right) \,$

$specific \ humidity = q = \frac{\epsilon e}{p - (1 - \epsilon) e} = \frac{\epsilon e}{p - e + \epsilon e} = \frac{mass \ water \ vapor}{mass \ of \ moist \ air} \,$

where $ε = 0.622$ the ratio of the molecular weight of water vapor to the molecular weight of dry air.

$e$ is the partial pressure of water vapor.

Relate these to the word description on http://meted.ucar.edu/awips/validate/thetae.htm

Specific hum in g/kg or kg/kg.

Absolute hum in g/m^3.

$\frac{\partial u}{\partial t} + u \frac{\partial u}{\partial x} + w \frac{\partial u}{\partial z} = g \frac{\theta_d}{\theta_0}\sin \alpha + \cos \alpha \frac{g}{\theta_0}\frac{\partial(\theta_d h)}{\partial x} + fv - \frac{\partial \overline{u' w'}}{\partial z}$
