The ratio of the mole fraction of the water vapour in the air to the corresponding mole fraction if the air were saturated with respect to water at a particular pressure and temperature. It is the relative humidity which is calculated, even at temperatures below 0°C. 2, record 1, English, - relative%20humidity%20of%20moist%20air%20with%20respect%20to%20water
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
The definition does not apply to moist air when the pressure is below the saturation vapour pressure of pure water at the temperature concerned. 2, record 1, English, - relative%20humidity%20of%20moist%20air%20with%20respect%20to%20water

À une pression p et à une température T données, exprimé en pour cent, entre le titre molaire de la vapeur d'eau N[indice]v et le titre molaire de la vapeur d'eau N[indice]vw qu'aurait l'air s'il était saturé par rapport à l'eau, à la même pression p et à la même température T. C'est cette humidité relative qui est calculée, même aux températures inférieures à 0 °C. 3, record 1, French, - humidit%C3%A9%20relative%20de%20l%27air%20humide%20par%20rapport%20%C3%A0%20l%27eau
