mixing ratio

From Glossary of Meteorology


The ratio of the mass of a variable atmospheric constituent to the mass of dry air.

If not otherwise indicated, the term normally refers to water vapor. For many purposes, the mixing ratio may be approximated by the specific humidity. Either r or w is commonly used to symbolize water vapor mixing ratio, with r used for thermodynamic terms in this glossary. In terms of the pressure p and vapor pressure e, the mixing ratio r is

Compare absolute humidity, relative humidity, dewpoint.

proporción de mezcla[edit | edit source]

Es la proporción entre la masa de un componente atmosférico variable y la masa de aire seco.
Si no se incluye una indicación en otro sentido, el término suele referirse a vapor de agua. La proporción de mezcla puede aproximarse mediante la humedad específica para muchos fines. Se usan comúnmente r y w como símbolos para denotar la proporción de mezcla del vapor de agua; en este glosario se usará r para términos termodinámicos. En términos de la presión p y la presión del vapor e, la proporción de mezcla r es
