Temperature

Question 1

Convert celcius to kelvin

Answer 1

K = 0˚C + 273˚C

Question 2

Convert celcius to farenheit

Answer 2

F = (1.8 x ˚C) + 32˚C

Question 3

What is Vapour Pressure?

Answer 3

Pressure exerted by water vapour in the air (hPa or mb)

Question 4

What is Absolute Humidity?

Answer 4

Mass of water vapour per unit volume (g/m3)

Question 5

What is Specific Humidity?

Answer 5

Mass of water vapour / mass of air (g/kg)

Question 6

How is Mixing Ratio different from Specific Humidity?

Answer 6

Mass of water vapour / mass of dry air (g/kg)

Question 7

What is the Saturation Mixing Ratio?

Answer 7

Maximum water vapour air can hold at a given temperature

Question 8

What is Dew Point Temperature?

Answer 8

Temperature at which clouds or dew forms (which indicates the RH)

Question 9

What is Saturation or Equilibrium?

Answer 9

Evaporation and condensation rates are equal, the air holds the maximum possible water vapour

Question 10

What is Relative Humidity?

Answer 10

Ratio of specific humidity to saturation humidity
