   How could somebody take a meteorology course and not understand the
   basic concepts of relative humidity -- the percentage of how much
   vapor (gas) the air holds of the maximum amount it can hold at a
   specific temperature. How can you even think that water vapour isn't
   gas. Did you fail the course because you cut all the classes?

Sam,

This just tells you how much water is in the air.  It doesn't tell you anything about it being gaseous or not.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

   Your posting is indicative of why you failed your meteorology course,
   James.

There is nothing to read.  I'm a trained meteorologist.  I know how to determine humidity.

I doubt you can determine if it raining outside or not...

Humidity is the amount of water vapor in the air.
You said before there is no such thing. Do you have a different 
definition of humidity ?

so now you say you are a meteorologist, what happened to you saying your 
a scientist ?  do you know what you really are ?


Perhaps you are having multiple delusions at once. your you tube videos 
indicate that.

I doubt you could determine the time given a digital clock.

BTW, you said earlier you're a physicist; which is it?

From you posts my guess is you are untrainable as anything.

It has nothing to do with air capacity for moisture,
it is solely an attribute of water,
( aside of very minor influence of air-water molecule interaction.)

the air is not needed, it works for vacuum as well.

The "advanced equipment" means
2 thermometers,
a small reservoir of water
a small textile sleeve keeping one of thermometers wet
psychrometric tables. ( for James - not psychometric )

It's useful for meteorologists whose job it is to predict when water starts collecting into big enough droplets to fall out of the sky.  But it doesn't represent a literal understanding of the amount of water in the air.  Nor does it indicate the weight of the air.

so, how does the water get up into the clouds ?


(once you turn water into plasma, it is not water anymore. - try again)

#556086 — kappa

teh surface tension of bodies of water on Rth is related
to the curvature, which is one over the diameter,
as defined by Gauss (1/diameter = kappa
