What is Humidity?? * Humidity is the state of atmosphere in relation to amount of water vapor it contains. Humidity is closely related to its temperature – higher the air temperature, more vapor the air can hold. * For this reason, saturation vapor pressure (ew) goes up with air temperature; i.e., as temperature goes up ew also goes up. Significance of Humidity The amount of water vapor in air effectively controls the weather condition by controlling evapotranspiration from land and water

from the air, that is, to dehumidify it. This requires cooling the air below its dew-point temperature. The cooling process with dehumidifying is shown on figure 1. First, moist air will enter the cooling section at state 1. As it passes through the cooling coils, its temperature decreases and its relative humidity increases at constant specific humidity. If cooling section is sufficiently long, air reaches its dew point (state x, saturated air). Air remains saturated during the entire condensation

methods are used, though the common method used in the public is Relative Humidity. The purpose of this lab is to learn how to calculate Relative Humidity. Instructions There are two options to completing this lab: 1. Gathering Temperature and Dew Point data from the National Weather Service and calculating the Relative Humidity (1 measurement every hour throughout one day), or 2. Use a liquid-bulb thermometer and use it as a wet-bulb thermometer to find the relative humidity around your
