Which value does the mixing ratio typically reach in saturated tropical air?
Answer: A
Saturated air at 30 degrees and 1000 hectopascals holds about 27 grams per kilogram, and 25 is a good working figure for the humid tropics. At 0 degrees the saturated value is about 3.8 and at minus 20 it is under one. This steep dependence on temperature is the Clausius-Clapeyron relation expressed in the variable meteorologists actually use. Reading the definition literally, rather than recalling a formula, is the reliable route through questions of this shape.
