Document Summary

Jet streams are currents of fast moving air. Under a trough temperatures are generally below normal and you will often find unsettled weather: trough: the dip at the bottom of the jet-stream. Under a ridge temperatures are generally above normal and you will often find fair weather: ridge: the curve at the top of the jet-stream. If he didn"t cover in class, it won"t be covered on test. There will be questions about botlzmann and wien"s laws no calculations. Relative humidity = (cid:3040)(cid:3042)(cid:3048)(cid:3041)(cid:3047) (cid:3042)(cid:3033) (cid:3050)(cid:3047)(cid:3032) (cid:3049)(cid:3043)(cid:3042) (cid:3041) (cid:3047) (cid:3032) (cid:3040)(cid:3042)(cid:3048)(cid:3041)(cid:3047) (cid:3042)(cid:3033) (cid:3050)(cid:3047)(cid:3032) (cid:3049)(cid:3043)(cid:3042) (cid:3047) (cid:3032) (cid:3030)(cid:3042)(cid:3048)(cid:3039)(cid:3031) (cid:3042)(cid:3039)(cid:3031) (cid:3047) (cid:3034)(cid:3049)(cid:3032)(cid:3041) (cid:3047)(cid:3032)(cid:3040)(cid:3043)(cid:3032)(cid:3047)(cid:3048)(cid:3032: it"s the ratio to what is currently in the atmosphere compared to what the atmosphere can hold. Rh is reported as a percent, so we multiply the above by 100% Said simply, the relative humidity tells you the percentage of water vapor is holding compared the amount it can hold. It"s highest in the morning: lowest at night.
