Water Vapour Pressure

Meteorology Water vaporWatershed

Water vapour pressure is the atmospheric pressure which is exerted by water vapour (water in its gaseous state). It is one way of measuring the humidity of the air.

 


AT = Ta + 0.348×e - 0.70×ws + 0.70×Q/(ws + 10) - 4.25where:Ta = Dry bulb temperature (°C)e = Water vapour pressure (hPa) [humidity]ws = Wind speed (m/s) at an elevation of 10 metersQ = Net radiation absorbed per unit area of body surface (w/m2) ...

Relative Humidity: The ratio of the actual water vapour content of a given mass of air to that it would hold at saturation, usually expressed as a percentage. Also, the ratio of the water vapour pressure to the its saturation vapour pressure.
