In the Wes C activity i learned that Dewpoint is a measure of the watervapor component of air. Also, Water vapor transport depends on wind patterns. After doing this activity learning did take place. I didnt know the actual answers to whether dewpoint is a measure of watervapor or to the transport of watervapor until after this activity. Dewpoint is the temperature that a sample of air would have if it was cooled until dew (or frost) began to form on a surface immediately adjacent. http://www.iitap.iastate.edu/jhodson/idot/frost/dew.html
Precipitation is most likely to occur in Rainforests because it is more wet and dew is most found there.along the 850 mb surface
Moisture advection is horizontal transport of moisture, which plays a very important role in the development of precipitation. If little moisture is available, it is unlikely that precipitation will form.http://ww2010.atmos.uiuc.edu/(Gh)/guides/mtr/af/adv/madv.rxml
