how much water vapor is actually
in the air |
the maximum amount of water
vapor that can be found in air |
how close is the air to being filled to
capacity with water vapor |
1. like mixing ratio it gives an idea of
the actual amount of water vapor in the air 2. cool the air to its dew point and RH becomes 100% |

when and why do the values of these
variables change? |
