Based on the information given above (Tair is the air tempeature,
Td is the dew point temperature), would CITY A
or CITY B have the
highest relative humidity? The smaller the difference between Tair and Td,
the higher the relative humidity.
Would CITY A or CITY B
have the highest mixing ratio? One of
the dew point temperatures jobs is to give you an idea of how
much water vapor is actually in the air. The higher the
dew point the more water vapor in the air.
Would CITY A
or CITY B have the highest saturation mixing
ratio? The saturation mixing ratio
depends on the air's temperature. The warmer the air the
higher the saturation vapor air, i.e. warm air can potentially
contain more water vapor than cooler air.
