Hydrologic cycle of moist air in the lower atmosphere

2019 
A hydrological cycle in the atmosphere plays an important role in the Earth system. [1] The hydrological cycle in the atmosphere is a source of fresh water for life on earth. Starting from the density of heavy water, it is converted into a mild vapor density which allows an increase in water vapor from the sea surface to the dew point where the process of changing water vapor into liquid phase can take place. An atmospheric machine is represented by a modified Carnot cycle below water dome containing mixed water vapor and liquid in an atmospheric layer. This study aims to learn changes in thermodynamic parameters, such as heat and work during the moist air experiencing thermodynamic processes and the correlation of temperature and humidity to rainfall. Basic information recorded by radiosonde is used as mixed water vapor and liquid parameters representing an initial atmospheric condition in producing fresh water. The results will provide information required to figure out the process of evaporation and condensation in the troposphere and the relationship between temperature and humidity to rainfall.
