Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008662
The partial pressure exerted by water vapor when the air is saturated at a given temperature. This pressure represents the maximum amount of water vapor that can exist in the atmosphere at that temperature. Saturation pressure increases significantly with rising temperature, following the Clausius-Clapeyron relation.
