Atmospheric Moisture

The temperature to which air must be cooled in order to become saturated is the:

• Relative Humidity

• Mixing Ratio

• Dew Point Temperature

• Wet-bulb Temperature

What is relative humidity?

• humidity that is related to other humidity

• condensation

• clouds

• the amount of water in the air compared to the amount of water the air can hold

What is the relative humidity when the dry-bulb temperature is 16°C and the wet-bulb temperature is 14°C?

• 90%

• 80%

• temperature where ice melts to liquid water
• temperature where ice turns directly into water vapor
• time of day when dew on the ground disappears
