What is normal atmosphere measured in?

Atmospheric pressure is measured by a barometer and expressed in millibars. Normal atmospheric pressure at sea level is 1013 millibars.


What is the term for the amount of water in the atmosphere?

The term for the amount of water in the atmosphere is humidity. Humidity is typically measured as either relative humidity, which is the percentage of water vapor present in the air compared to the maximum amount the air can hold at a specific temperature, or absolute humidity, which is the actual amount of water vapor present in the air.


What tells us how close air is to saturation?

The name for this is relative humidity.It is most often measured by a "wet and dry thermometer". This is just two thermometers, one of which is kept wet by a cloth wick dipping into a small pot of water. The other is, well, dry. The dry one indicates the air temperature. The wet one shows the same temperature minus the cooling effect of the water evaporating around the wet bulb. The higher the relative humidity, the less the evaporation and the smaller the difference in temperature. These thermometers are sold witha set of tables that calculate the R.H. from the two temperatures.


What is the wetness of the atmosphere is called?

It is called the humidity of the atmosphere.


The amount of water in the air compared to the amount the can hold is called?

The measure of the amount of liquid that a glass can hold is called its capacity or volume, and in most cases is measured in millilitres (ml) or ounces (oz.). The glass may have a measuring line inscribed on the side to indicate when it has been filled to this capacity, unless the glass is intended to be filled to the brim.

Define the term oxygen saturation.?

Oxygen saturation refers to the percentage of hemoglobin molecules in the blood that are carrying oxygen. It is a measure of how well the blood is being oxygenated by the lungs. Oxygen saturation is typically measured using a pulse oximeter and a normal range is between 95-100%.


Oxygen Saturation results mean?

Oxygen saturation is the extent to which the blood is carrying as much oxygen as it is capable of doing. It is measured as a percentage. Oxygen saturation is the percentage of oxygen in the blood stream. Doctors become concerned when that percentage drops below 90%. It simple terms, at 82%, your brain other other organs are not receving enough oxygen to properly function. Anyone's oxygen saturation level varies from one moment in time to another. If you had a full copy of your sleep study report you might see reference to peak saturation (the highest saturation seen during the study), average saturation, saturation nadir (the lowest saturation recorded during the study), among other terms.


What conditions in the atmosphere can be measured?

atmosphere can be measured in barometers.


What is saturated percentage of oxygen?

The saturated percentage of oxygen refers to the maximum amount of oxygen that can dissolve in a liquid, typically water or blood. It is usually expressed as a percentage, indicating the saturation level of oxygen at a given temperature and pressure. In the human body, oxygen saturation levels in the blood are typically measured using a pulse oximeter and are considered normal when they are around 95-100%.


What is the moisture content of air measured as a percent of saturation is the?

relative humidity


What is the difference between PO2 and Sp02?

PO2 refers to the partial pressure of oxygen in the blood, typically measured via arterial blood gas analysis. SpO2, on the other hand, represents the oxygen saturation level in the blood, measured non-invasively through pulse oximetry. In simpler terms, PO2 shows how much oxygen is dissolved in the blood, while SpO2 indicates the percentage of hemoglobin carrying oxygen.


What does humidity tell if measured?

How close to 100 % saturation of moisture in the air that it actually is.


What unit is used for a hyrometer?

Hydrometer? Reative humidity, measured in per-cent. (Percentage of the concentration of water vapor which saturates the local atmosphere).


What is SaO2?

SaO2 stands for arterial oxygen saturation, which represents the percentage of hemoglobin in the arterial blood that is saturated with oxygen. It is an important parameter in assessing the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood and is commonly measured using a pulse oximeter.
