________ is an indication of how near the air is to saturation rather than the actual quantity of water vapor in the air.
A)Mixing ratio
B)Relative humidity
C)Dew-point temperature
D)Adiabatic cooling

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Relative humidity is the measure of the amount of moisture in the air relative to the amount it can hold at a particular temperature, which gives an indication of how near the air is to saturation. Mixing ratio (A) is the ratio of the mass of water vapor to the mass of dry air in a sample of air. Dew-point temperature (C) is the temperature to which the air must be cooled to reach saturation with respect to water, at a constant barometric pressure. Adiabatic cooling (D) is the process by which air cools as it rises and expands due to a decrease in pressure.
