sublimation process by which snow and ice change into water vapor (a gas) without going through the liquid phase EXAMPLE: ice cubes shrinking in the freezer
relative humidity ratio of water vapor to the amount of water vapor the air can hold at a given temperature
dew point temperature at which water vapor condenses to a liquid
