1 Earth’s Water Balance

2 Changes of State

3 Water Vapor in the Air

4 Humidity

5 Saturation Vapor Pressure Rises with Temperature

6

7

8 Amount of Water Vapor Required for Saturation Rises with Temperature

9 DEW Point Temperature

10 Pseudoadiabatic Chart

20 Air Cools at Dry Adiabatic Rate until Reaching Dew Point Then Cools at Wet Adiabatic Rate

21 Orographic Lifting

23 Arid Conditions Caused by Removal of Moisture from Air by Orographic Lifting

24 Frontal Wedging

25 Uplifting by Convergence

32 Air Warmer than its Surroundings Rises

33 Rising Air Cooler than Environment Tends Toward Stability

34 Absolute Stability; Environmental Lapse Rate less than Wet Adiabatic Rate

35 Absolute Instability; Environmental Lapse Rate greater than Dry Adiabatic Rate

36 Conditional Stability; Environmental Lapse Rate between the Dry and Wet Adiabatic Rates
