Claim One:
1. A method, comprising: adjusting an engine powertrain component of a vehicle responsive to barometric pressure and an estimated ambient humidity, the estimated ambient humidity based on each of vehicle position in a region, a current time of day and/or year, ambient temperature, and data for the region for the current time of day and/or year stored in a memory of a controller; determining a difference between a measured humidity and the estimated humidity, where the measured humidity is received at the controller when the controller is connected to a data source external to the vehicle; updating estimation parameters used to estimate the estimated humidity based on the determined difference; and uploading the updated estimation parameters and acquired humidity data to a cloud server external to the vehicle, the uploading occurring during vehicle operation, and wherein the updated estimation parameters and acquired humidity data are generated during vehicle operation from estimation of the estimated humidity.
