relative humidity (RH)

The ratio of the amount of water vapor in the air to the maximum amount of water vapor that air can hold at that temperature and pressure.

NOTE RH is calculated as the quotient of the vapor density (or vapor pressure) in the air and the value of saturated vapor density (or saturated vapor pressure) at that specific temperature and pressure.
