Preferred Label : supersaturation;
IUPAC definition : in meteorology, supersaturation of an air mass with respect to h2o vapour is of special
interest. it is the saturation ratio minus one, or the percent supersaturation is
the percent relative humidity minus 100.; in chemistry, an unstable system which has a greater concentration of a material in
solution than would exist at equilibrium is said to be supersaturated.;
