This document discusses concepts related to atmospheric climate including:
1. It provides equations for calculating barometric pressure, temperature, and density at different heights above sea level.
2. It explains concepts like water vapor pressure, absolute humidity, mixing ratio, specific humidity, and relative humidity. Formulas are given for calculating each of these.
3. An example calculation is shown that determines values like vapor pressure, dew point temperature, relative humidity, specific humidity, mixing ratio, and vapor pressure deficit based on measurements from a psychrometer.

10. Derivation ideal gas law:
When density is known:
And assuming that all pressure is hydrostatic:
Substituting the first expression into the second we get:
Integrating this expression from the surface to the altitude z we get:
Assuming constant temperature, molar mass, and gravitational acceleration, we get
the barometric formula:
n this formulation, R is the gas constant, and the term RT / Mg gives the scale height
(approximately equal to 7.4 km for the troposphere).
14. Absolute humidity
Absolute humidity is the density of water in a particular volume of air. The most
common units are grams per cubic meter,
he amount of vapor in that cube of air is the absolute humidity of that cubic
meter of air. More technically: the mass of water vapor mw, per cubic meter of
air, Va .
volumetric humidity. "absolute humidity." Most humidity charts are given in
g/kg or kg/kg,
15. Mixing ratio / Humidity ratio
Mixing or Humidity ratio is expressed as a ratio of
kilograms of water vapour, mw, per kilogram of dry air,
md, at a given pressure
That ratio can be given as:
16. Specific humidity
Specific humidity is the ratio of water vapor to air (dry air plus water vapor)
in a particular volume of air. Specific humidity ratio is expressed as a ratio
of kilograms of water vapor, mw, per kilogram of air, ma .
That ratio can be given as:
Specific humidity is related to mixing ratio (and vice versa) by:
17. Relative humidity
Relative humidity is defined as the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor in a
gaseous mixture of air and water vapor to the saturated vapor pressure of water at
a given temperature. Relative humidity is expressed as a percentage and is
calculated in the following manner:
where
is the partial pressure of water vapor in the gas mixture;
is the saturation vapor pressure of water at the temp of the gas mixture
is the relative humidity of the gas mixture being considered.
