In meteorology, an explanation of ”dry air heats up faster than moist air” is often provided to explainwhy dry areas of the country (central U. S.) seem to ”heat up faster” than coastal parts of the country(eastern U. S.). Is this statement true? Provide a calculation to support your answer. Assume that you haveair that is completely dry (mixing ratio of zero), and air that is moist (vapor pressure of 2000 Pa). Both airsamples are at 20oC and have the same total pressure (100,000 Pa) and volume (1 m3).
