Science Semester 2 Final Humidity

Define relative humidity
- ratio of airs actual water vapor
- Total water vapor
What does dewpoint mean and in wheat places does it occur?

Temperature where air needs
Understand the difference between dry and wet adiabatic cooling
- Dry- Unsaturated air heats and cools at 10 c per 1000 meters
- Wet- slower rate of cooling release of latent heat at 5-9 c per 1000 meters
What is required for water vapor to condense

Air must be at 100% humidity (saturated)
Understand why when water vapor content remains the same, does lowering air temperature increase or decrease relative humidity

Increase
