The specific humidity of an air parcel does not change with temperature. “Absolute humidity” is the density of water vapor, expressed as grams per cubic meter of air. “Relative humidity”  is the ratio of the partial pressure of water vapor to the equilibrium vapor pressure of water at a givenRead More →
