Specific Humidity Is the mass of water vapor per mass of air at any specified temperature.
What is expressed in millibars? Vapor pressure
Stability refers to tendency of an air parcel, with its water vapor cargo
What is another instrument used to measure relative humidity? Sling psychrometer
Moist adiabatic rate is the rate at which ascending air parcel that is moist, or saturated, cools by expansion.
