What is specific humidity?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Mass of water vapour per unit mass of total air

Answer: A, the mass of water vapour per unit mass of total moist air. To understand this, remember that air is a mixture of gases and may contain a variable amount of invisible water vapour. Specific humidity compares the mass of that vapour with the total mass of the air sample, including the vapour. It is usually expressed as grams of water vapour per kilogram of moist air. Unlike relative humidity, it does not directly compare the present vapour with the maximum possible amount at a temperature. A is correct because it gives the definition. B describes rainfall intensity, not humidity. C describes salinity. D describes a cloud’s size, not the water vapour mixed with air. Memory cue: “specific” points to a specific mass of air.
