Encyclopedia > Equivalent temperature

Equivalent temperature is the temperature of an air parcel from which we would have completely extracted its water vapor content by an adiabatic process. This article covers adiabatic processes in thermodynamics. ...


Air contains water vapor that has been evaporated into it from liquid sources (lakes, sea, etc...). The energy needed to do that has been taken from the air. Taking a volume of air at temperature T and mixing ratio of r , drying it by condensation will restitute energy to the airmass. This will depend on the latent heat release as: Layers of Atmosphere (NOAA) Air redirects here. ... Fig. ... The parts-per notations are used to denote extremely low concentrations of chemical elements. ... This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

 : specific heat at constant pressure for air ( 1004 J/(kg·K)) The specific heat capacity (symbol c or s, also called specific heat) of a substance is defined as heat capacity per unit mass. ...

Cumulonimbus capillatus incus floating over Swifts Creek, Victoria in Australia A cloud is a visible mass of condensed droplets or frozen crystals suspended in the atmosphere above the surface of the Earth or another planetary body. ... Convection is the internal movement of currents within fluids (i. ... In meteorology, convective available potential energy (CAPE) is the amount of energy a parcel of air would have if lifted a certain distance vertically through the atmosphere. ... Convective inhibition (CIN or CINH) is a meteorlogic parameter that measures the amount of energy that will prevent an air parcel from rising from the surface to the level of free convection. ... Dew on a spider web The dew point or dewpoint of a given parcel of air is the temperature to which the parcel must be cooled, at constant barometric pressure, for the water vapor component to condense into water, called dew. ... The heat index (HI) or humidex is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine an apparent temperature — how hot it actually feels. ... Heat Index (HI) is an index that combines air temperature and relative humidity to determine an apparent temperature — how hot it actually feels. ... Humidity is the concentration of water vapor in the air. ... Lightning is an atmospheric discharge of electricity, usually, but not always, during a rain storm. ...
