On metar report wbd 0.9 what does it mean?
Wet Bulb Depression. The difference between the dry- and wet-bulb temperatures. Used when temp and dew point are close together.
What main parts are to make a psychrometer?
The two parts of a psychrometer is the dry-bulb thermometer and the wet-bulb thermometer.
Is the wet bulb thermometer reading always higher than the dry bulb?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
Why did the wet-bulb temperature record a lower temperature then a dry-bulb temperature?
the evaporation off the moisture on the wet bulb absorbs the heat.
How do you use a wet bulb thermometer and a dry bulb thermometer?
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 temperature reading on the wet bulb thermometer will drop. if the humidity is high only a little bit of water will evaporate from the cloth of the wet bulb thermometer and the change in temperature will be small.

The difference between wet-bulb and dry-bulb temperature is called?
wet-buld depression
What is atmospheric depression?
it is difference between wet bulb temperature and dry bulb temperature.

What main parts are to make a psychrometer?
The two parts of a psychrometer is the dry-bulb thermometer and the wet-bulb thermometer.
What does a wet bulb and a dry bulb measure?
A wet bulb measures the temperature after water evaporation allows to cool and a dry bulb measures air temperature.
What is the use of dry and wet bulb tenperature?
How you would use a wet-bulb thermoter and a dry-bulb theremometer to fine the relative humidity?
If the difference between a wet bulb and a dry bulb thermometer is great is the humidity low?
No, the humidity is high when wet and dry bulb temps are far apart.
What would the dew point temperature be when the wet and dry bulb temperature are the same?
the "current" temperature, ie, the temperature at which wet bulb and dry bulb are the same. when the wet bulb and dry bulb temperaturs equalized the dew point emperature equals them, because the air is saturated now.
Is The wet bulb thermometer reading is always higher than the dry bulb?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
Is the wet bulb thermometer reading always higher than the dry bulb?
No, the wet bulb is always lower. Evaporation from the wet bulb reduces its temperature.
When wet bulb temperature and dry bulb temperature are equal?
for air water system wet bulb equals to dry bulb at 100 % relative humidity for that given temperature of air.
