fYANGOMA CAROLINE 23/U/1282 FORESTR ATMOSPHERIC MOISTURE BUDGET Is the ratio, in percent of the amount of moisture in a volume of air to the total amount which that volume can hold at given temperature and atmospheric pressure. The Global hydrological cycle The Water Cycle Transportation e ‘Condensation nN Condensation, Infiltration Groundwater Flow, The equation of the water budget for the atmosphere is AQ=E-P+Dq Where AQ=Time change of moisture in an atmospheric column E =Evaporation P=Precipitation Dq=moisture divergence out of the column For the surface its AS=P-E-r Where AS=Surface shortage of water R=Runoff The hydrological cycle describes how water is exchanged through earth's lands, oceans, and the atmosphere It consists of reservoirs interconnected by water cycling in various phases, theses various Courses are «Lakes, soil moisture * Oceans, icesheets, glaciers e Underground aquifers and the vapor in the air and clouds « = Biosphere (water in plants and animals) The oceans 3.8km deep covering 71%of the earth surface hold 97% of the earths
