单词 humidity
释义
humidity

Physics
  • The concentration of water vapour in the atmosphere. The absolute humidity is the mass of water vapour per unit volume of air, usually expressed in kg m−3. A useful measure is the relative humidity, the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the moisture in the air to the moisture it would contain if it were saturated at the same temperature and pressure. The specific humidity is also sometimes used: this is the mass of water vapour in the atmosphere per unit mass of air. See also hygrometer.


Chemical Engineering
  • The amount of water contained within a unit volume of dry air. The absolute humidity is the amount of water in air expressed as the mass of water vapour per unit mass of dry air for a particular temperature and pressure condition. The relative humidity is the moisture content of air expressed as a percentage, and corresponds to the ratio of the mass of water vapour in a given volume of air at a given temperature and pressure to the maximum quantity of water vapour that can be held in the air at those conditions.


Biology
  • The concentration of water vapour in the atmosphere. The absolute humidity is the mass of water vapour per unit volume of air, usually expressed in kg m−3. A useful measure is the relative humidity, the ratio, expressed as a percentage, of the moisture in the air to the moisture it would contain if it were saturated at the same temperature and pressure.


Geology and Earth Sciences
  • Expression of the moisture content of the atmosphere. Measures of humidity include statements of the total mass of water in 1 m3 of air (absolute humidity), the mass of water vapour in a given mass of air (specific humidity), relative humidity, vapour pressure, and the mixing ratio.


Geography
  • The amount of water vapour in the atmosphere. It is more exactly defined as the mass of water vapour per unit volume of air, usually expressed in kg m−3. This is absolute humidity. Relative humidity is the moisture content of air expressed as the percentage of the maximum possible moisture content of that air at the same temperature and pressure. The humidity mixing ratio is the ratio of the mass of water vapour in a sample of air to the mass of dry air associated with that water vapour.
