HUMIDItY_

water always Present in Air higher or lesser

water content in Atmosphere


Types of
i Dory Air Air contain no water vapour
may exist in upper Troposphere on stratosphere
ii moist Air This is normal Air we breathe
also called unsaturated or
dry Air
iii saturated air Air which can hold maximum
water vapours
Vapour Pressure VP

Partial Pressure exerted water vapour in Air


called
vapour Px
D is Total pressure e water

P e is Pressure of dry air

Measurement

Humidity is measured
by Psychrometer

Hygrometer And recorded by Hygrograph


Wet BulbTemp TwTw

Lowest temp which air would Evaporate water into saturate it

Desert cooler work on this Principle

Doyen the Air more effective to cool

Dew pointtemp TdTd


Lowest temp which air should be cooled

at constant Px to saturate to water

Cooling down below Td Td Cause condensation

i DP only affect by change in water content

But RH affect both water content and Temp change


air contains
it DP is higher if more WV
in By cooling or warming the air Rit can change

but DP won't change 1

Forest Point

It is temp aim must cooled saturate respect


to Ice

cooling Below Frost Point cause formation


hoarfrost
Cloud Base
It can be determined by surface C temp
using Empirical formula
temp DP x Hooft

i temp of air increase the amount w u required


to saturate also increase

At Sub Zero Temp water molecules have more energy

greater degree of freedom than Ice


The saturation vapour pressure over water drop
is more than that over the Ice particles
