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.

Refer to the temperature distribution in the standard atmosphere as shown below.
Calculate the standard atmosphere values of T, P, and ρ at a geopotential altitude of 100 meters. Use 3 decimals for the final answer and box the final answer.
At a particular sea level location at a particular time the atmospheric pressure is 14.8 lbs/in^2 and the temperature is 80 degrees F. Estimate the temp, pressure , and air density at an altitude of 8,000ft? 18,000 ft? Note: You must modify the standard atmosphere model using the given values for sea level air pressure and temperature
