Atmospheric Physics Concepts

Let's start with a quick overview of some atmospheric physics concepts.

A dry temperature is a temperature that is measured by a simple thermometer placed in free air.

Relative humidity represents the ratio between the water quantity within the air and the saturation quantity at a given temperature and pressure. This means that when the humidity rate is at 100%, the air is saturated with water.

Wet bulb temperature is the combined measurement of two phenomena: air temperature and relative humidity.

Snowmaking Principles

Snowmaking principles are fairly simple. By atomizing water droplets in cold air, they freeze before reaching the ground. Obviously, this can be achieved easily when temperatures are extremely cold, but more expertise is needed in marginal conditions.
