Abstract

Obtained is the parametric law of the probability density function of relative air humidity as a result of processing the data of long-term measurements. Revealed is the existence of two maxima of the long-term probability density function of relative air humidity under conditions of the continental climate. It is demonstrated that it is possible to distinguish the components of the probability density function of air humidity.
