« on: July 06, 2019, 08:48:31 pm »
so I was doing sanity check about humidity and temperature
using this site
https://www.ready.noaa.gov/READYmoistcal.php

in the lower part of the display
abs humidity is what it is, grams of water in 1m3 of air
but what is "mixing ration" value g/kg ?

Its a typo for mixing ratio, though chemistry would call it mass ratio.

It's the mass of water per kg of air.
