dcterms:description Specific humidity (or moisture content) is the ratio of the mass of water vapour to the total mass of the air parcel. It is approximately equal to the mixing ratio, defined as the ratio of the mass of water vapour to the mass of dry air in the same parcel. Specific humidity is commonly represented by the symbol \(\omega\) and is widely used in psychrometrics and HVAC system design.
