What is the instument used to find relative humidity?
barometer A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, not humidity. A hygrometer measures humidity.
Which of the following is information you would not find in a station model precipitation cloud coverfrontwind speed?
Precipitation
What data would be use to find out how much water vapor is in the air?
Look in the weather reports for "Relative Humidity". It is a percentage of how much water vapor is in the air compared to what the air can actually hold at a given temperature.
What happens when temperature and dew point are equal?
This is the point at which saturation occurs. This is also signifies 100% relative humidity. If you want to find out how close it is to reaching saturation, all you have to do is find actual vapor pressure (found by temp.), and saturation vapor pressure(found by dewpoint). You can look online for conversion charts. Once you find them, plug them into this equation: actual vapor pressure/saturation vapor pressure x 100%. Your answer should be a percentage. If it's around 60-80 percent, then you know it's cold, and there is high humidity; thus, saturation is likely to occur. If it's around 10-30 percent, then you know the humidity is low and saturation is not likely occur. Warm weather= low humidity Cold weather= high humidity.
What is relative location of tropical rain forest?
Tropical rainforests gather most at the equator. This is due to the air masses from both hemispheres meeting here, and collecting large quantities of humidity.
What is the instument used to find relative humidity?
barometer A barometer measures atmospheric pressure, not humidity. A hygrometer measures humidity.
How would you use a wet bulb thermometer and a dry bulb thermometer to find the relative humidity?
You would use both to determine the relative humidity.
A psychrometer is the only measuring instrument needed in order to find what?
Relative Humidity!
What are the uses of a psychrometer?
Psychrometers are used for measuring the dew point and relative humidity which you have to have a chart to find and finding the relative humidity in controlled environments
What does a relative humidity of 100 percent mean?
oo thats on my science worksheet too. I can't find it anywhere. ugghh
Explain how you would use a wet bulb thermometer and a dry bulb thermometer to find the relative humidity?
the wet bulb is cooler
What unit of measure does a psychrometer measure in?
Like in a Hygrometer to measure humidity you use percentage (%)
Where can you find relative humidity levels for the US?
There aren't many. Relative humidity isn't usually of much interest to serious meteorologist. Stations report dewpoint; calculating RH is another step. Intellicast.com (see link) has national RH maps. I usually get my humidity information from dewpoint maps from weather.unisys.com. Contour plots of dewpoint (related link) are among of the most useful.
Does relative humidity of 96 percent has a quantity has both magnitude and direction?
As you have written it, the quantity "96 percent relative humidity" has only a magnitude. If you can find a reasonable and meaningful way to relate it to a direction, then it'll also have a direction. I notice, however, that over several decades of broadcast and printed weather conditions and forecasts, I have never once seen a direction stated as part of the relative humidity, and that never seemed to leave it lacking in information. So I'm guessing that you probably won't be able to do it.
Why doesn't cold water evaporation as fast as hot water does?
there is adifference because water turns into water vapour more easily when it is warm. However the rate of evaporation has more to do with relative humidity. For example if you were to hang out the wash during a heatwave in the oppressive humidity that you find in New Guinea it would take it ages to dry, However if you were to do the same in freezing temperatures and low relative humidity they would dry quickly.
How would youwould use a wet-bulb thermometer and a dry-bulb thermometer to find the relative humidity?
USE as the air passes over the wet bulb thermometer the water in the cloth evaporates. as the water evaporates the cloth cools. if the humidity is low the water will evaporate more quickly and the...
