What are the two most important properties of air mass?
Temperature and amount of water vapor.
Which two properties characterize an air mass?
Temperature and moisture content are the two main properties that characterize an air mass. Air masses are classified based on the temperature and humidity conditions they acquire from their source region.
How does temperature affect amount of vapor in the air?
The warmer the temperature, the more water vapor in the air. The colder the temperature, the less water vapor in the air.
What is the amount of water vapor the air IS holding compared to the amount of water vapor that the air CAN hold at that temperature?
Relative humidity expresses the amount of water vapor present in the air as a percentage of the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at that temperature. For example, if the relative humidity is 50%, it means the air is holding half of the maximum water vapor it can hold at that temperature.
Is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor needed for saturation at a certain temperature.?
Relative humidity.
What Is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to the amount of water vapor needed for saturation at a certain temperature.?
Relative humidity.
What is the amount of water vapor in the air compared to to the amount of water vapor needed for saturation at a certain temperature?
Relative humidity.
How do you think the temperature will be affected when the amount of water vapor increases?
When the amount of water vapor increases, the temperature will generally increase because water vapor traps heat in the atmosphere. This phenomenon is known as the greenhouse effect.
A measure of the amount of water vapor in the air is?
Relative humidity is a measure of the amount of water vapor in the air. It represents the ratio of the amount of water vapor present in the air to the maximum amount of water vapor the air can hold at a specific temperature, expressed as a percentage.
What factor most affects the amount of water air can hold-?
Temperature is the primary factor that affects the amount of water air can hold. Warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air. The relationship between temperature and water vapor capacity is known as the Clausius-Clapeyron equation.
What determines the amount of water that can be held in the air?
The amount of water vapor that air can hold depends on its temperature. Warmer air can hold more water vapor than cooler air. This relationship is described by the concept of relative humidity, which is the ratio of the amount of water vapor present in the air to the maximum amount the air could hold at that temperature.
Why relative humidity does not give an accurate indication of the actual amount of water vapor in the air?
Because it is relative to temperature!
