Hydrology cycle

This cycle of moving and transforming water molecules from liquid to

vapor and back to liquid again is called the hydrologic (water)

Definisi kelembaban udara

Tekanan

uap air (vapor pressure)

Suhu titik embun (dew point)
Titik beku (frost point)
Relative humidity
Saturation deficit
Mixing ratio, r (g/Kg)

Definisi:
Tekanan uap air

Definisi:
dewpoint
a

point on a temperature scale being the

temperature to which the air must be
cooled for the moisture present to
represent saturation
the temperature of a can of drink from
the refrigerator when the dew just
disappears from the surface
the temperature of water with a vapour
pressure equal to that of the ambient
atmosphere

Definisi:
Frostpoint
The

temperature at which ice has

the same vapour pressure as that of
water vapour in the air

Definisi:
Relative Humidity
The

ratio of the airs vapour pressure

(e) to the saturated vapour pressure
at the airs temperature e ,
expressed as a percentage
the ratio of the water actually
present in the air to the maximum
amount that could be present at the
airs temperature
a poor index of the amount of
moisture in the atmosphere, because

the higher you camp, the longer cooking

takes

Definisi:
Relative Humidity: Desert air Vs Polar Air
Higher

RH?
Higher water vapor?

Definisi:
Mixing ratio, r (g/Kg)
the

ratio of the mass of water vapour

in a unit mass of air (excluding the
vapour)
advantage : remaining unaltered
when a parcel of air rises or falls in
the atmosphere, so long as there is
no evaporation or condensation.

Definisi:
Mixing ratio, r (g/Kg)

Increasing

latitude is associated with

lower vapour pressures

Sebaran Kelembaban Nisbi menurut Waktu

RH lebih tinggi pada malam hari dibandingkan siang hari, karena

tekanan uap jenuh semakin tinggi dengan naiknya suhu udara
sedangkan tekanan uap aktual relatif tetap pada siang maupun malam.
