What happens to the air temperature dew point temperature and humidity of a descending mass of air?

Air temperature rises because the air compresses and warms adiabatically (simply because pressure increases). But no moisture is being added or removed from the air, so the dew point and absolute/specific humidity do not change. What changes is relative humidity, which lowers, due to the warmer air being able to hold more moisture.

What happens to the dew point temperature of a descending air mass?
Air temperature rises because the air compresses and warms adiabatically (simply because pressure increases). But no moisture is being added or removed from the air, so the dew point and absolute/specific humidity do not change. What changes is relative humidity, which lowers, due to the warmer air being able to hold more moisture.
How are temperature and humidity not related?
By marriage. Humidity and temperature are related. The maximum absolute humidity increases with temperature and pressure (up to the boiling point).
What happens when the air temperature and the dew point temperature are close together?
When both come closer,relative humidity increases;When they are almost equal,condensation water vapour begins.
When the temperature equals the dew point what is the relative humidity?
100%
What is the difference between relative humidity and dew point temperature?
relative humidity is the AMOUNT of water in the air. Dew Point is the TEMPERATURE at which the water vapor in the air is turned into liquid water.

Describe what happens when air is cooled to its dew point?
The dew point is the varying temperature at which atmospheric humidity condenses. If the air temperature drops below the dew point, dew and condensation form.
What happens to relative humidity as the air temperature drops below dew point?
It stays at 100%.
What happens when the air temperature and the dew point temperature are close together?
When both come closer,relative humidity increases;When they are almost equal,condensation water vapour begins.
When the temperature equals the dew point what is the relative humidity?
100%
What is relative humidity when the air temperature is at its dew point?
It is 100%.
What is the relative humidity when the air temperature is at its dew point?
It is 100%.
What is the difference between relative humidity and dew point temperature?
relative humidity is the AMOUNT of water in the air. Dew Point is the TEMPERATURE at which the water vapor in the air is turned into liquid water.
When the relative humidity is 100 percent the air temperature is equal to the dew point temperature?
Yes.
