Document Summary
We have more long waive radiation in comparison to the short wave radiation. How much water vapour in the atmosphere tells you how much latent head is in atmosphere. Depending on the movement in the atmosphere, the transfer of latent heat. Gives a good idea of the state of the climate. Actual quantity of water vapour in air. Sh= mass of water vaopour (g)/ mass of total air (kg) When looking at atmospheric pressure, depending on tempture. Maximum amounts of h20v ( i. e sh) that an air parcel can contain at any given time. Density of gas cannot be increased above a certain level. Change of phase once limit is reached. If you move the seal, some will evaporate, and some will condense, eventually you will have an equilibrium between the water evaporating and the water is condensing, which is the saturation point.
