Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006993
The ratio of the mass of liquid water, such as cloud droplets, to the mass of dry air in a given volume of atmosphere. This dimensionless quantity is a measure of the concentration of liquid water in a cloud or air parcel. It is typically expressed in grams of liquid water per kilogram of dry air (g/kg).
