Saturation Vapor Pressure
The vapor pressure of a system, at a given temperature, wherein the vapor of a substance is in equilibrium with a plane surface of that substance's pure liquid or solid phase.

Saturation
The air is saturated with water vapour when it holds as much water vapour as it can at that temperature.
Saturated vapour pressure
The water vapour pressure when the air is saturated.

Saturation: The condition when the partial pressure of water vapour in the atmosphere is at its maximum level for the existing temperature and pressure.
Saturation - The point at which the air cannot hold any more water vapor; the point at which condensation occurs. RH=100%. Saturation is where the amount of water condensing is equal to the amount of water evaporating.
saturation: when the air is holding the maximum amount of water that it can hold. If any more water is added to the air, the water will condense and leave the air in the form of liquid.
Saturation vapor pressure The maximum amount of water vapor necessary to keep moist air in equilibrium with a surface of pure water or ice.
Saturation mixing ratio Maximum concentration of water vapor in a given volume of air at a specific temperature.
Saturation vapor pressure The maximum vapor pressure in a sample of air at a specific temperature.
saturation—The condition of the atmosphere when actual water vapor present is the maximum possible at existing temperature.
scud—Small detached masses of stratus fractus clouds below a layer of higher clouds, usually nimbostratus.
Supersaturation The condition which occurs in the atmosphere when the relative humidity is greater than 100%.
Zone of Saturation: The locus of points below the water table where soil pores are filled with water. This is also called the phreatic zone.
Saturation vapor pressure is a unique function of temperature as given in the table below.
Saturation- A condition of the atmosphere in which a certain volume of air holds the maximum water vapor it can hold at a specific temperature.
Secondary Cold Front- A front that follows a primary cold front and ushers in even colder air.
This is also called the vadose zoneZone of SaturationIn hydrologic terms, the locus of points below the water table where soil pores are filled with water.
Lifting condensation levelThe level in the atmosphere where a lifted air parcel reaches its saturation point, and as a result, the water vapor within condenses into water droplets.
SATLSatelliteSaturation Vapor PressureThe vapor pressure of a system, at a given temperature, wherein the vapor of a substance is in equilibrium with a plane surface of that substance's pure liquid or solid phase.
They are used in dams to measure the level of saturation.Photochemical SmogAir pollution containing ozone and other reactive chemical compounds formed by the reaction of nitrogen oxides and hydrocarbons in the presence of sunlight.
Moist-adiabatic(Also known as saturation-adiabatic process.) An adiabatic process for which the air is saturated and may contain liquid water.
Dew point (or dew-point temperature) The temperature to which a sample of air must be cooled, while the mixing ratio and barometric pressure remain constant, in order to attain saturation by water vapor.
On Köhler curve plots of saturation relative humidity versus aerosol particle radius, equilibrium haze particles are to the left of the peak, while growing cloud droplets are to the right.
As a by-product of the exhaust of aircraft engines, water vapour is trailed from the engine exhaust which adds to the local humidity of the air the aircraft is flying through, and which tends to super-saturation of the air.
As warm air rises it may cool and reach the saturation point where condensation occurs. This process releases energy to the atmosphere (at the rate of 585 calories per gram of water).
The ratio of the vapor pressure to the saturation vapor pressure with respect to water. This quantity is alternatively defined by the World Meteorological Organization as the ratio of the mixing ratio to the saturation mixing ratio.
Also expressed as: Saturation Vapor Pressure/ Saturation Mixing Ratio/Relative Humidity as to how much moisture the atmosphere can hold at a given temperature. The maximun amout of moisture the atmosphere can hold is 4 percent.
Temperature to which an air parcel must be cooled at constant pressure and constant water vapor content in order for saturation of that air parcel with water vapor to occur with respect to a liquid water surface.
VAPOR DEFICIT- The number of millibars a parcel of air must rise in order to achieve saturation. Air that has a low dewpoint depression (near saturation), will have a low vapor deficit. Air with a low RH will have a high vapor deficit.
Relative humidity: The ratio of the observed vapor pressure of the air to the saturation vapor pressure, expressed as a percentage. Relative humidity indicates how close the air is to saturation.
Dew Point- the temperature to which a certain amount of air must be cooled in order for saturation to occur (a cloud or fog to form); the drier the air the lower the dew point and the more air is needed to be cooled for a cloud or fog to form.
Dew Point The temperature to which air must be cooled for saturation to occur, exclusive of air pressure or moisture content change. At that temperature dew begins to form, and water vapor condenses into liquid.
Lifted Condensation Level. The level where condensation (saturation) occurs if one lifts an unsaturated surface parcel dry-adiabatically.
Dew Point - The temperature to which air has to be cooled in order to reach saturation.
Diffraction - The slight bending of light as it passes sharp edges.
RELATIVE HUMIDITY A type of humidity that considers the ratio of the actual vapor pressure of the air to the saturation vapor pressure. It is usually expressed in percentage.
DEWPOINT TEMPERATURE: The temperature to which a given parcel of air must be cooled at constant pressure and constant water vapor content in order for saturation to occur. Any further cooling usually results in the formation of dew or frost.
HOARFROST Another name for frost. A deposit of hoarfrost occurs when air with a dew point below freezing is brought to saturation by cooling.
recharge The process by which water is added to a reservoir or zone of saturation, often by runoff or percolation from the soil surface.
Another name for frost. A deposit of hoarfrost occurs when air with a dew point below freezing is brought to saturation by cooling.
