Hello
What does air humidity mean?What is the percentage of air humidity? What does it mean when we say humidity is 50%?Explain completely because I want to learn.Use shapes and photos for training.Thank You
What is true about weather?
The weather depends on so many conditions that it is not possible to account
for them all in any model.
Accuracy increases the farther you are from the day's weather you are
predicting.
The weather behaves randomly, which is why weather predictions are so often
inaccurate.
Weather can be predicted dependably by computational models.

For example, at 140°W longitude the winds (upper panel) were from the east. The anomalous winds (lower panel) were mostly small, essentially zero, meaning the actual winds were about the same as the long-term average in speed and direction. The anomalous winds along the equator across the tropical Pacific were generally ______."

- At ground level, the air pressure measured with a barometer is 1000 mb. The barometer is lifted upward by a weather balloon. When the balloon reaches 2 km above the ground, the measured air pressure is 800 mb. Explain why the air pressure decreased. After the balloon goes up another 2 km (now 4 km above the ground), will the measured air pressure be exactly 600 mb, lower than 600 mb, or higher than 600 mb? Explain the reason for your answer. Hint: This can be a little tricky. You need to consider how air density changes as you move upward. See the figure below. If air density does not change as you move upward, then the "block" or air from 2- 4 km weighs the same as the "block" of air from 0 - 2 km and the air pressure will decrease uniformly to be exactly 600 mb at 4 km. If air density changes as you move upward, then the "block" of air from 2 - 4 km will not weigh the same as the block of air from 0 - 2 km and so the air pressure will not be exactly 600 mb at 4 km.arrow_forwardA sling psychrometer can measure humidity because Answer, the dry bulb will measure the same temperature no matter how much water is in the air. Answer, the cooling of the wet bulb is independent of the amount of water in the air. Answer, the heating of the dry bulb is proportional to the amount of water in the air. Selected Answer, the cooling of the wet bulb is proportional to the amount of water in the air. Answer, the heating of the wet bulb is proortional to the amount of water in the air.

- In the graph from the class handout the inflow of energy from the sun is given as a constant 236 watts per meter squared. To get this figure we used L(1 – a) × 236 W/m², where L = 1350 W/m²is the solar constant, and a = 0.3 is the Earth's albedo (meaning that 30% of the Sun's energy is reflected back into space). The 1/4 comes from averaging the arriving solar energy over the whole Earth (the surface area of the Earth is 4 times the area of the "disk of energy" hitting the Earth.) Using these ideas estimate the inflow of energy to a planet if the solar constant is 647 watts per meter squared and the planet's albedo is 0.5. Round your answer to the near 10 watts per square meter.arrow_forwardExplain the process of Thermal Convection.arrow_forwardUse a logarithmic model to solve. The Los Angeles area experiences many earthquakes. Suppose Los Angeles experienced an earthquake that measured a magnitude of 6.9 on the Richter scale. Suppose that Los Angeles experienced another earthquake years later, which measured 5.2 on the Richter scale. Compare the intensities of the two earthquakes. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.) The intensity of the earlier earthquake in Los Angeles was about times the intensity of the later earthquake.arrow_forward
