Le changement d'état physique de l'eau nécessite en effet un apport considérable de calories. En second lieu, intervient l'humidité atmosphérique elle-même et par conséquent la vitesse du vent qui renouvelle l'air remplace l'air humide par de l'air plus sec, plus capable d'emmagasiner de la vapeur d'eau. 3, record 1, French, - air%20humide
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 1 OBS
L'air ne peut être totalement sec et il contient donc nécessairement une certaine proportion d'air humide. La notion présentement étudiée se réfère à la portion non sèche de l'air. De façon générale, cependant, quand on parle d'air humide on désigne plutôt un air dans lequel la quantité de vapeur d'eau est relativement importante (près de l'état de saturation). 4, record 1, French, - air%20humide
