In this article we will discuss about the meaning and variation of absolute humidity. The actual amount of water vapour in a given volume of air, that is, the weight per volume, such as pounds per 1,000 cubic feet, is called the absolute humidity. A direct relationship exists among the dew point, the vapour pressure, and the absolute humidity because, [...]
In this article we will discuss about the heat budget of the earth and its atmosphere. (1) Incoming Shortwave Solar Radiation and the Heat Budget of the earth and the Atmosphere: The earth receives most of its energy from the sun through shortwave solar radiation. The solar energy radiated towards the earth's surface (1/2 billionth part of the total energy [...]
In this article we will discuss about:- 1. Meaning of Temperature Inversion 2. Types of Temperature Inversion 3. Significance. Meaning of Temperature Inversion: Temperature decreases with increasing altitudes in the troposphere at an average rate of 6.5°C per 1000 metres (normal lapse rate) but sometimes this normal trend of decrease of temperature with increasing heights is reversed under special circumstances [...]
