Absolute humidity |
=mass water vapor/vl of air |
|
|
Specific Humidity |
mass of water vapor/total mass air |
|
|
Relative Humidity |
e/es*100=actual vapor pressure/sat vapor pressure*100 (tells us how close the air is to being saturated) |
|
|
Actual Vapor Pressure |
the amount of water vapor in terms of the amount of pressure that the water vapor molecules exert |
|
|
Saturation Vapor Pressure |
The pressure that the water molecules could exert if the air were saturated with vapor at a given temperature. |
|
|
Dew Point temp |
The temp at which the air would have to be cooled to have saturation occur |
|
|
Sub saturated |
More molecules evaporating than arriving |
|
|
saturated |
equal amounts of molecules evaporating than condensing |
|
|
supersaturated |
More molecules coming in than evaporating |
