492-433: A much lower scale height and shorter atmospheric lifetime — weeks instead of decades. Without other greenhouse gases, Earth's blackbody temperature , below the freezing point of water, would cause water vapor to be removed from the atmosphere. Water vapor is thus a "slave" to the non-condensible greenhouse gases. Humidity is one of the fundamental abiotic factors that defines any habitat (the tundra, wetlands, and
574-419: A non-condensable phase other than air. A device used to measure humidity of air is called a psychrometer or hygrometer . A humidistat is a humidity-triggered switch, often used to control a humidifier or a dehumidifier . The humidity of an air and water vapor mixture is determined through the use of psychrometric charts if both the dry bulb temperature ( T ) and the wet bulb temperature ( T w ) of
656-525: A relatively high humidity post-rainfall. Outside the monsoon seasons, humidity is high (in comparison to countries further from the Equator), but completely sunny days abound. In cooler places such as Northern Tasmania, Australia, high humidity is experienced all year due to the ocean between mainland Australia and Tasmania. In the summer the hot dry air is absorbed by this ocean and the temperature rarely climbs above 35 °C (95 °F). Humidity affects

Cities in parts of Asia and Oceania are among the most humid. Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City , Kuala Lumpur , Hong Kong, Manila , Jakarta , Naha , Singapore, Kaohsiung and Taipei have very high humidity most or all year round because of their proximity to water bodies and
1148-434: Is almost independent of the amount of air (nitrogen, oxygen, etc.) that is present. Indeed, a vacuum has approximately the same equilibrium capacity to hold water vapor as the same volume filled with air; both are given by the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at the given temperature. There is a very small difference described under "Enhancement factor" below, which can be neglected in many calculations unless great accuracy
1230-435: Is also a key metric used to evaluate when it is appropriate to install flooring over a concrete slab. Specific humidity (or moisture content) is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the total mass of the air parcel. Specific humidity is approximately equal to the mixing ratio , which is defined as the ratio of the mass of water vapor in an air parcel to the mass of dry air for the same parcel. As temperature decreases,
1312-487: Is also measured on a global scale using remotely placed satellites. These satellites are able to detect the concentration of water in the troposphere at altitudes between 4 and 12 km (2.5 and 7.5 mi). Satellites that can measure water vapor have sensors that are sensitive to infrared radiation . Water vapor specifically absorbs and re-radiates radiation in this spectral band. Satellite water vapor imagery plays an important role in monitoring climate conditions (like
1394-543: Is an important metric used in weather forecasts and reports, as it is an indicator of the likelihood of precipitation , dew, or fog. In hot summer weather, a rise in relative humidity increases the apparent temperature to humans (and other animals) by hindering the evaporation of perspiration from the skin. For example, according to the heat index , a relative humidity of 75% at air temperature of 80.0 °F (26.7 °C) would feel like 83.6 ± 1.3 °F (28.7 ± 0.7 °C). Relative humidity
1476-460: Is defined as the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor ( p {\displaystyle p} ) in air to the saturation vapor pressure ( p s {\displaystyle p_{s}} ) of water at the same temperature, usually expressed as a percentage: φ = 100 % ⋅ p / p s {\displaystyle \varphi =100\%\cdot p/p_{s}} Relative humidity
1558-627: Is expressed as either mass of water vapor per volume of moist air (in grams per cubic meter) or as mass of water vapor per mass of dry air (usually in grams per kilogram). Relative humidity , often expressed as a percentage, indicates a present state of absolute humidity relative to a maximum humidity given the same temperature. Specific humidity is the ratio of water vapor mass to total moist air parcel mass. Humidity plays an important role for surface life. For animal life dependent on perspiration (sweating) to regulate internal body temperature, high humidity impairs heat exchange efficiency by reducing
1640-430: Is inappropriate for computations in chemical engineering, such as drying, where temperature variations might be significant. As a result, absolute humidity in chemical engineering may refer to mass of water vapor per unit mass of dry air, also known as the humidity ratio or mass mixing ratio (see "specific humidity" below), which is better suited for heat and mass balance calculations. Mass of water per unit volume as in
1722-528: Is required. Absolute humidity is the total mass of water vapor (gas form of water) present in a given volume or mass of air. It does not take temperature into consideration. Absolute humidity in the atmosphere ranges from near zero to roughly 30 g (1.1 oz) per cubic metre when the air is saturated at 30 °C (86 °F). Absolute humidity is the mass of the water vapor ( m H 2 O ) {\displaystyle (m_{{\text{H}}_{2}{\text{O}}})} , divided by

#17327723209161804-556: Is shown in State B. If the system at State A is isothermally compressed (compressed with no change in system temperature), then the relative humidity of the system increases because the partial pressure of water in the system increases with the volume reduction. This is shown in State C. Above 202.64 kPa, the RH would exceed 100% and water may begin to condense. If the pressure of State A was changed by simply adding more dry air, without changing

Buck has reported that the maximal relative error is less than 0.20% between −20 and +50 °C (−4 and 122 °F) when this particular form of
1968-558: Is the most abundant of all greenhouse gases . Water vapor, like a green lens that allows green light to pass through it but absorbs red light, is a "selective absorber". Like the other greenhouse gasses, water vapor is transparent to most solar energy. However, it absorbs the infrared energy emitted (radiated) upward by the Earth's surface, which is the reason that humid areas experience very little nocturnal cooling but dry desert regions cool considerably at night. This selective absorption causes
2050-437: Is the ratio of how much water vapour is in the air to how much water vapour the air could potentially contain at a given temperature. It varies with the temperature of the air: colder air can contain less vapour, and water will tend to condense out of the air more at lower temperatures. So changing the temperature of air can change the relative humidity, even when the absolute humidity remains constant. Chilling air increases

Calibration standards for the most accurate measurement include the gravimetric hygrometer, chilled mirror hygrometer , and electrolytic hygrometer. The gravimetric method, while the most accurate, is very cumbersome. For fast and very accurate measurement
4428-450: The greenhouse effect. It raises the surface temperature substantially above its theoretical radiative equilibrium temperature with the sun, and water vapor is the cause of more of this warming than any other greenhouse gas. Unlike most other greenhouse gases, however, water is not merely below its boiling point in all regions of the Earth, but below its freezing point at many altitudes. As a condensible greenhouse gas, it precipitates , with
4510-440: The ideal gas law. On the contrary the saturated volume is the volume a gas mixture would have if humidity was added to it until saturation (or 100% relative humidity). Humid air is less dense than dry air because a molecule of water ( m ≈ 18 Da ) is less massive than either a molecule of nitrogen ( m ≈ 28 ) or a molecule of oxygen ( m ≈ 32 ). About 78% of the molecules in dry air are nitrogen (N 2 ). Another 21% of

The notion of air "holding" water vapor or being "saturated" by it is often mentioned in connection with the concept of relative humidity. This, however, is misleading—the amount of water vapor that enters (or can enter) a given space at a given temperature
5166-491: The relative humidity can exceed 100%, in which case the air is said to be supersaturated . Introduction of some particles or a surface to a body of air above 100% relative humidity will allow condensation or ice to form on those nuclei, thereby removing some of the vapour and lowering the humidity. In a scientific notion, the relative humidity ( R H {\displaystyle RH} or φ {\displaystyle \varphi } ) of an air-water mixture

The system is closed (i.e., no matter enters or leaves the system). If the system at State A is isobarically heated (heating with no change in system pressure), then the relative humidity of the system decreases because the equilibrium vapor pressure of water increases with increasing temperature. This
5822-553: The temperature increases. As the temperature of a parcel of air decreases it will eventually reach the saturation point without adding or losing water mass. The amount of water vapor contained within a parcel of air can vary significantly. For example, a parcel of air near saturation may contain 8 g of water per cubic metre of air at 8 °C (46 °F), and 28 g of water per cubic metre of air at 30 °C (86 °F) Three primary measurements of humidity are widely employed: absolute, relative, and specific.

6150-416: The volume increases, and the dry air molecules that were displaced will initially move out into the additional volume, after which the mixture will eventually become uniform through diffusion. Hence the mass per unit volume of the gas—its density—decreases. Isaac Newton discovered this phenomenon and wrote about it in his book Opticks . The relative humidity of an air–water system is dependent not only on
6232-468: The volume of the air and water vapor mixture ( V net ) {\displaystyle (V_{\text{net}})} , which can be expressed as: A H = m H 2 O V net . {\displaystyle AH={\frac {m_{{\text{H}}_{2}{\text{O}}}}{V_{\text{net}}}}.} If the volume is not set, the absolute humidity varies with changes in air temperature or pressure. Because of this, it
6314-499: The volume, the relative humidity would not change. Therefore, a change in relative humidity can be explained by a change in system temperature, a change in the volume of the system, or change in both of these system properties. The enhancement factor ( f w ) {\displaystyle (f_{w})} is defined as the ratio of the saturated vapor pressure of water in moist air ( e w ′ ) {\displaystyle (e'_{w})} to
6396-426: Was 2,614.1 inhabitants per square mile (1,009.3/km ). There were 8,861 housing units at an average density of 870.4 per square mile (336.1/km ).
