Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1919-07-12
BY j. Nj. SHERIER,
MeteOrOIOgist.

(The Argus is now printing in
it's daily weather report dry and
wet bulb temperatures, taken three
times daily, for purposes Of COM
parison In the following Mr..
Sherier of the Davenport station
explains the significance Of the
data.-Editor's note0
By the humidity OF the air is
meant the amount OF moisture 1t
contains in LA- 1orm of water va
por. This amount may vary in the
free air from nothing to that re-
quired for complete saturation, the
latter condition being reached in
a cloud or when a dense fog pre-
walls.
At weather bureau stations the
relative humidity or percentage of
moisture required for the complete
saturation of the air is obtained
from wet and dry bulb thermome-
tiers mounted upon a piece of ap
paratus for whirling the instru-
ments. Both thermometers are OF
the ordinary type and are alike,
except that the wet thermometer
has a thin muslin covering over
its bulb. Whenever an observa-
ton is taken, the muslin lis satur-
ated with water and both instru-
ments are then whirled- Evapora-
ton of the water contained in the
muslin covering takes place, the
amount depending upon the dry
ness of the air. Since evaporation
always produces a cooling effect.
the reading of the wet bulb be-
comes lower than that OF the other
or dry bulb. From
the reading of the dry bulb and
the difference in temperature be-
tween it and the wet bulb, the rel
alive humidity is obtained, express
ed. as already stated, in per cent.
Relative humidity data are of
great value in the engineering pro-
LESSONS and in certain baking op-
erations, the manufacture of con-
fectionery and the cold storage of

COMPARISON OF DRY AND WET
BULB TEMPERATURE READINGS
AND WHAT THEIR MEANING is

food products. They are also of
considerable interest to those of
the general public who. understand
their significance.
Evaporation of the perspiration
upon the body takes place con-
stantly, just as it does in the case
of the water on the wet bulb Their
mometer, producing the same cool
ing effect Therefore. the temper
ature felt by one sitting before a
fan or in "a breeze strong enough
constantly to renew the air about
ones body is that indicated by the
wet bulb, and not that shown by
the dry bulb thermometer. Be-
cause it is the degree of heat actu-
ally felt under such conditions. the
reading of the wet bulb is some
times referred to as the sensible
temperature" Unless, however,
the air is being replaced rapidly,
a higher temperature than the wet
bulb reading is experienced, owing
to the retardation of evaporation
by the moist air next to the skin.
