Relative Humidity | How much water vapor in the air is present, and is expressed as a percentage of the amount needed for saturation. |
Condensation Nuclei | The weather at which water vaporizes. |
Adiabatic Cooling | The process of reducing heat through a change in air pressure caused by volume expansion. |
Advective Cooling | The transfer of a property of the atmosphere, such as heat, cold, or humidity, by the horizontal movement of an air mass. |
