  2. Dew point - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point

    In technical terms, the dew point is the temperature at which the water vapor in a sample of air at constant barometric pressure condenses into liquid water at the same rate at which it evaporates. [7] At temperatures below the dew point, the rate of condensation will be greater than that of evaporation, forming more liquid water.

  3. Thermodynamic diagrams - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermodynamic_diagrams

    For more accurate information, the height of the highest point, or the max pressure, to surpass the static friction would be proportional to the frictional coefficient and the slope going back down to the normal pressure would be the same as an isothermal process if the temperature was increased at a slow enough rate.

  4. Water activity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_activity

    Dew point hygrometers work by placing a mirror over a closed sample chamber. The mirror is cooled until the dew point temperature is measured by means of an optical sensor . This temperature is then used to find the relative humidity of the chamber using psychrometrics charts.

  5. Vapour pressure of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour_pressure_of_water

    The boiling point of water is the temperature at which the saturated vapor pressure equals the ambient pressure. Water supercooled below its normal freezing point has a higher vapor pressure than that of ice at the same temperature and is, thus, unstable. Calculations of the (saturation) vapor pressure of water are commonly used in meteorology.

  6. Vapour-pressure deficit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapour-pressure_deficit

    Global distribution of Vapour-pressure deficit averaged over the years 1981-2010 from the CHELSA-BIOCLIM+ data set [1]. Vapour pressure-deficit, or VPD, is the difference (deficit) between the amount of moisture in the air and how much moisture the air can hold when it is saturated.

  7. Dew point depression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dew_point_depression

    The dew point depression (T-Td) is the difference between the temperature and dew point temperature at a certain height in the atmosphere. A lower dew point depression indicates that the air is more moist at a given temperature. [1]: 83

  8. Moisture advection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moisture_advection

    Using the classical definition of advection, moisture advection is defined as: =in which V is the horizontal wind vector, and is the density of water vapor. However, water vapor content is usually measured in terms of mixing ratio (mass fraction) in reanalyses or dew point (temperature to partial vapor pressure saturation, i.e. relative humidity to 100%) in operational forecasting.
