Vapour pressure deficit (VPD) is used by many forestry / biological partners as a measure of moisture stress. It is calculated via saturation vapour pressure and relative humidity (both of which are already available in the api).

Currently we can do a fairly simple manual calculation after calculating the two components but it should be simple to implement directly in the _conversion functions

VPD = (1 - (RH/100))*SVP
