Document Summary
Identify the following in the context of this class. A process in which no heat is added or removed. Horizontal transport of some atmospheric property (heat, moisture, etc. ) Without condensation nuclei, condensation would occur only at very high relative humidity (at about 200 percent or more), while condensation nuclei allow condensation to occur at or slightly below 100 percent relative humidity. Temperature decrease experienced by a rising unsaturated parcel (about 1 c/100 m). Change from the vapor phase to the solid phase. Deposition releases the energy of vaporization and fusion. The temperature to which the air must be cooled to become saturated. The temperature at which saturation occurs, provided that temperature is less than 0 c. The ability to permit condensation at relative humidity below 100%. Insoluble (of a substance) incapable of being dissolved. A measure of atmospheric moisture: the mass of water vapor per unit mass of dry air, usually expressed in grams per kilogram (g/kg).
