(Solved): Calculating relative humidity from temperature and dew point temperature The relative humidity (RH) ...
Calculating relative humidity from temperature and dew point temperature The relative humidity (RH) of air can be expressed as, RH=es?e?×100%, where e= vapor pressure and ex?= saturation vapor pressure. To determine e, and e when the air temperature and dewpoint temperature are known, consult the table to the right. Simply read the value adjacent to a given air temperature to obtain es? and read the value adjacent to a given dewpoint temperature to obtain e. On a summer afternoon in Denver, you have the following measurements: - T=90?F - Td?=50?F *all answers should be given with one decimal place (e.g.,11.1mh). (1) Find the value of e (actual vapor pressure) for this day in Denver. mb (2) Find the value of ex? (saturation vapor pressure) for this day in Denver. mb (3) Find the value of RH(%) for this day in Denver. % On a winter afternoon in Denver, you have the following measurements: - T=30?F - Td?=25?F (4) Find the value of e (actual vapor pressure) for this day in D (5) Find the value of e, (saturation vapor pressure) for this day i ? (6) Find the value of RH(%) for this day in Denver (7) On which day is the atmospheric closer to saturation? (wint (8) On which day is there more absolute moisture in the air? (w-
