Weather and Climate Chapter 2 February, 2011.

Comparing the Humidity and Dew Point of two different locations

HUMIDITY AND DEW POINT.

Atmospheric Humidity. Global water cycle: precipitation = evaporation.

 Saturation: When the air contains as much moisture as it can hold  The higher the temperature, the more moisture air can hold.

Atmospheric Moisture. How does the moisture get in the atmosphere?? EVAPORATION TRANSPIRATION – water evaporated from trees.

Topic: Moisture in the Atmosphere Water enters the Atmosphere by A) --- Mainly from Ocean 70% Earth’s surface.

RRB Pg 117.  Saturation: When the air contains as much moisture as it can hold  The higher the temperature, the more moisture air can hold  If air.

Water in the Atmosphere. Humidity Humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air. Air’s ability to hold water vapor depends on its temperature.

Humidity Water in the Air. Humidity is: A measure of the amount of water in the air Water is added to the air by the process of EVAPORATION.

Water In The Atmosphere The presence of water in the atmosphere is a major influence on the formation of clouds, rain, snow, lightning, fog, and most other.

How much moisture is in the air relative to how much it can hold

Moisture in the air. Heavy and Light air Heavy Air: (high pressure) – cold, because the molecules are closer together. – Dry, because nitrogen and oxygen.

1._____process that forms clouds (water cycle 2) 2._____ process that adds heat and changes liquid water to water vapor (water cycle) 3._____what powers.

Moisture Moisture = Water Vapor (gas) Gets into the atmosphere by: 1.Evaporation = liquid to gas (opposite of condensation) 2.Transpiration = plants release.

What is Fog? Fog is essentially a dense cloud of water droplets, or cloud, that is close to the ground. Fog forms when warm, moist air travels over a cold.

HUMIDITY AND DEW POINT. CONDENSATION � H2O can exist in solid, liquid, or gaseous states. Change from liquid to gas is evaporation. Change from gas to.

Relative Humidity. Humidity  the measure of the amount of water in the air  high humidity =lots of moisture in the air.

Water in the Atmosphere Water vapor is the source of all condensation and precipitation. When it comes to understanding atmospheric processes, water.

What is the name given to the lines on the weather map, and what are they connecting?

What type of weather is associated with the Low pressure system located in the South East?

Winter storm March 2013

Do you remember how this thing works.

Moisture in the atmosphere: How does it get there?

How does moisture enter the atmosphere?

Evaporation

Define Evaporation what speeds it up? Wind, heat, surface area

The glasses below are half-filled with water (50% full). Which glass contains more water?

If air at 10°C can hold 10 gallons of water, and 5gallons are present, what % of the air is full of water? _______ If the air can hold 10 gallons, and 10 gallons are present, what % of the air is full of water? ____________

The amount of moisture in the air is referred to as?

When the air is completely full of water it is considered?

How is it measured ?

Air temp = 84 Dew Point temp = 61 High or Low pressure? Will a wet towel dry quickly or slowly today?

Air temp 64 Dew Point temp 64 Pressure system? Towel dry fast or slow

Ever notice how you feel cold when you get out of the shower or pool? That’s because evaporation is a heating process. Water needs heat in order to evaporate and therefore it gets the heat from your Body.

The same thing happens when you use a sling psychrometer.

Because evaporation is pulling the heat out of the thermometer, the wet bulb is always colder than the dry bulb (or the same temp)

Think about this. If it is raining out, will there be a lot of evaporation taking place

So what will happen to the wet bulb temperature?

Find the Dew Point for the following. Dry bulb temp =-8 Wet Bulb = -9 Dry Bulb = 20 Wet Bulb = 16 Dry bulb = 2 R.H = 67. What is the Wet bulb Temp? Dry Bulb = 16, Dew Point = 11, what is the Relative Humidity?
