Application Notes:
 

humidity


is the water vapor in the atmosphere. Absolute humidity is the amount of water vapor in a given quantity of air; it is not a function of temperature. Relative humidity is a ratio of actual atmospheric moisture to the maximum amount of moisture that could be carried at a given temperature, assuming constant atmospheric pressure. The higher the temperature — other factors remaining constant — the lower the relative humidity (i.e., the drier the air).
