Using the skew-t diagram, calculate the relative humidity for two air parcels at two different pressure levels: At 1000 hPa that has a temperature of 25C and a mixing ratio of 16 g/kg. At 700 hPa that has a dew point temperature of -10C and a saturation mixing ratio of 12 g/kg. show your work on the skew-t diagram by drawing the lines to find the values OR explain the steps to find the value. Then, use those numbers to calculate relative humidity.

Question

Using the skew-t diagram, calculate the relative humidity for two air parcels at two different pressure levels:

  1. At 1000 hPa that has a temperature of 25C and a mixing ratio of 16 g/kg.
  2. At 700 hPa that has a dew point temperature of -10C and a saturation mixing ratio of 12 g/kg.

show your work on the skew-t diagram by drawing the lines to find the values OR explain the steps to find the value. Then, use those numbers to calculate relative humidity.
