Given a cP air mass and cT air mass with the same relative humidity,which air mass would have higher specific humidity?
A)The cP air mass would have the higher specific humidity.
B)The cT air mass would have the higher specific humidity.
C)The specific humidity of both would be the same because their relative humidities are the same.
D)It is impossible to say what would usually be true of their specific humidities.
E)Specific humidity is not a relevant measure of air masses.

cT air masses are warm and have a higher capacity for moisture, which means they can hold more moisture than cP air masses. Therefore, if the relative humidity is the same, cT air masses will have a higher specific humidity due to their ability to hold more moisture.
