Side A ------ Side B On a calm night, the relative humidity a few inches above grass is lower than it is a few feet above the grass. ------ False The capacity of air to hold water vapor is temperature dependent. ------ True Clear skies are associated with substdence or sinking motion. ------ True Adiabatic temperature changes refer to parcels of air that rise or sink. ------ True The circulation of water vapor through the atmosphere is very small compared to the Earth's rivers systems. ------ False The environmental lapse rate is usually the same as the dry adiabatic rate. ------ False Moisture in clouds is considered to be water vapor when making humidity calculations. ------ False The formation of hoar frost is an example of deposition. ------ True The average annual precipitation for the Earth is equal to the annual amount of evaporated water. ------ True High humidity in summer makes people uncomfortable because high humidity slows perspiration evaporation. ------ True When air sinks, it is compressed and warmed. ------ True If the temperature remains unchanged and the mixing ratio drops, the relative humidity will increase. ------ False Relative humidity gives a measurement of the amount of water in the air, and is usually measured in grams per cubic meter. ------ False An area that is very cold in winter will probably also have a relatively dry winter. ------ True When discussing the water vapor in the air, meteorologists prefer to use absolute humidity rather than mixing ratio. ------ False More water is evaporated from the oceans than is returned to the oceans by precipitation. ------ True For a given mass of rising air, the dry adiabatic rate will always be higher than the wet adiabatic rate. ------ True If the mixing ratio remains unchanged and the temperature drops, the relative humidity will increase. ------ True The saturation vapor pressure is independent of temperature. ------ False The absolute humidity of the air is expressed as a percent. ------ False
