Air Temp And Humidity

Question 1

Condensation

Answer 1

Heat loss driven transformation of a paper into a liquid

Question 2

Advection fog

Answer 2

When warm moist air moves over a sufficiently colder surface the moist air may cool to its saturation point

Question 3

High dew point Indicates

Answer 3

High water vapor content

Question 4

Evaporation

Answer 4

Heat induced driven transformation of a liquid into a vapor

Question 5

Evapotranspiration

Answer 5

Loss of water via water vapor from plants

Question 6

Heating degree day

Answer 6

Application used to estimate energy needs

Temperature departure below 65°F base

Question 7

With the constant amount of water vapor, cooling the air ______ relative humidity and warming the air ______ it

Answer 7

Raises, lowers

Question 8

Dew, Frost, fog

Answer 8

Formed by service moisture, cold temperatures, no wind products of condensation

Question 9

Wet-bulb temperature

Answer 9

Temperature of a fully saturated cloud

Question 10

Night ______

Answer 10

Cooling

Question 11

Day _____

Answer 11

Warming

Question 12

Measurement of humidity

Answer 12

Sling Psychrometer, duel dry/wet thermometers

Question 13

Cooling degree day

Answer 13

Daily temperature departure above 65°F base

Question 14

Effect of proximity to ocean currents on air temp

Answer 14

Help keeps weather moderate

Question 15

Condensation nuclei

Answer 15

Tiny particles upon who surfaces condensation of water vapor begins in the atmosphere

Question 16

Saturation

Answer 16

No net loss or gain of liquid/vapor molecules for every molecule that evaporates, one must condense

Question 17

Sensible temperature

Answer 17

The human body’s perception of temperature

Question 18

Effect of elevation on air temp

Answer 18

Colder as you go up

Question 19

Day warming

Answer 19

Temperatures rise max at mid afternoon

Question 20

Diurnal variations

Answer 20

What does relative humidity feel high and low during the day

Question 21

Dewpoint

Answer 21

Temperature to which air must be cooled for saturation to occur

Question 22

Wind chill index

Answer 22

The faster the wind blows the greater the heat loss in the colder we feel

Question 23

Relative humidity

Answer 23

Ratio of the water vapor content to capacity saturation

Question 24

Night cooling

Answer 24

Infrared energy radiates up from ground as radiational cooling

Question 25

Effect of morphology on air temp

Answer 25

Shape slope aspect and proximity to water

Question 26

Absolute humidity

Answer 26

Mass of water vapor in an air parcel volume

Question 27

Effect of latitude on air temp

Answer 27

Latitude determines amount of incoming solar radiation daily and seasonal
