# Mean Relative Humidity (2020–2024)

## Overview

This dataset represents modeled global mean annual relative humidity developed to support ISO 9223 atmospheric corrosivity modeling for the period 2020–2024.

Relative humidity is one of the most important environmental variables influencing:

- Atmospheric corrosion
- Time of Wetness (TOW)
- Electrolyte formation
- Chloride persistence
- Sulfate deposition chemistry
- Atmospheric conductivity

The raster represents estimated long-term mean atmospheric relative humidity conditions at approximately 1 km spatial resolution.

**Units:**

- Relative Humidity (%)
- Range: 0–100%

---

## Background

Relative humidity is a core environmental variable within the ISO 9223 atmospheric corrosivity framework and strongly influences moisture-related corrosion processes.

Relative humidity directly affects:

- Electrolyte formation on metal surfaces
- Time of Wetness persistence
- Atmospheric conductivity
- Chloride retention
- Sulfate reaction chemistry
- Corrosion cell formation and persistence

Higher humidity environments generally promote increased atmospheric corrosion activity, particularly when combined with chloride deposition, sulfate deposition, and elevated temperatures.

This dataset was developed to provide global humidity estimates suitable for corrosion engineering, environmental modeling, and GIS-based exposure assessment.

---

## Modeling Methodology

The humidity framework integrates atmospheric observations, climate reanalysis products, offshore measurements, and spatial interpolation methods.

Primary humidity inputs include:

- Surface meteorological observations
- Offshore buoy observations
- Climate reanalysis datasets
- Satellite-derived atmospheric moisture products

The modeling framework incorporates:

### Atmospheric Observations

- NOAA Integrated Surface Database (ISD)
- Government of Canada climate stations
- National Data Buoy Center (NDBC) observations

### Climate Reanalysis

- NASA MERRA-2 atmospheric products
- Regional climate datasets
- Long-term climatological averages

### Spatial Modeling

- Ordinary Kriging
- Empirical Bayesian Kriging
- Spatial interpolation methods
- Coastal correction techniques

### Environmental Integration

- Coastal influences
- Regional climate gradients
- Atmospheric moisture consistency checks
- Long-term climatological averaging

The resulting framework was designed to improve representation of ambient atmospheric humidity behavior across coastal, inland, tropical, arid, and remote environments.

## Interpretation Guidelines

| Relative Humidity (%) | Interpretation |
|---|---|
| 0–20 | Extremely Dry |
| 20–40 | Dry |
| 40–60 | Moderate |
| 60–80 | Humid |
| 80–100 | Very Humid / Near Saturation |

Relative humidity is one of the strongest predictors of atmospheric corrosion potential, particularly when combined with elevated chloride deposition and persistent surface wetness.
