Question

You measure the relative humidity at ground level at 25%. You find the temperature at ground level is 30 degrees C. Answer the following: a. What is the water vapor content of the air at ground level (you can round numbers)? What is the water vapor capacity (mixing ratio)? b. What is the dew point temperature? Is the air saturated or unsaturated. c. As the air moves up and over the skyscraper will adiabatic cooling or heating occur? Why? d. Using an adiabatic rate of 10 degrees C per 1000 meters, at what altitude would clouds begin to form?

Explanation / Answer

a. What is the water vapor content of the air at ground level (you can round numbers)?

27.7 g/kg water vapor content at the 30 degree celcius

water vapor capacity is the amount of water vapor which is hold by the air .

b. dew point temperature is the point of temperature where air does not able to hold the water vapor in it.. after the dew point temperature air will be unsaturated.

c. As the air moves up and over the skyscraper will adiabatic heating because air moves up when its warm and in the adiabatic form it will be heating

d. at 3000 m to 3500 m altitude, clouds will be form
