From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.

Specific humidity is a method of expressing the amount of aqueous vapor in air by using a ratio of water vapor to dry air. Specific humidity is expressed as a ratio of kilogram of water vapor, m_w, per kilogram of air, m_a .

That ratio can be given as:

Partial pressure of water vapor and air can also be used to express the ratio.
