dewpoint

listen to the pronunciation of dewpoint
English - English
Alternative spelling of dew point
The temperature at which water vapor in air will condense at a given state of humidity and pressure
Temperature at which a vapor begins to deposit as a liquid Applies especially to water in the atmosphere
Temperature at which a vapor begins to deposit as a liquid Applies especially to water in the atmosphere Dimension See Lumber
the temperature to which air has to be cooled in order to reach saturation
The temperature to which the air must be cooled for water vapor to condense
of a gas is the temperature at which the vapor in a space (at a given pressure) will start to condense (form dew) Dewpoint of a gas mixture is the temperature at which the highest boiling point constituent will start to condense
Temperature at which moisture will condense from humid vapors into a liquid state
The temperature at which condensation forms, it depends upon the saturation of the air Warm air can hold more water vapour than cold Thus when warm air is at 100% saturation, a reduction in temperature means that it is unable to support the volume of water vapour in suspension and liquid water condenses out
The temperature at which dew begins to form
n the temperature to which air must cool to result in saturation or formation of dew
The temperature to which the air must be cooled for water vapor to condense and form fog or clouds
the temperature air would have to be cooled to in order for saturation to occur The dewpoint temperature assumes there is no change in air pressure or moisture content of the air
the temperature at which the water in the atmosphere will condense as drops on a surface
The temperature to which a given weight of air must be cooled at constant pressure and constant water-vapor content in order for saturation to occur When this temperature is below 0o C, (32o F) it is sometimes called the frost point
The dewpoint is the point at which air, when cooled at a specific pressure and moisture content, reaches the saturation point of water vapor In other words, when the temperature is lowered, this is the point at which condensation occurs or dew forms
The temperature to which air must be cooled in order for saturation to occur
It varies with the humidity and temperature of the atmosphere
The temperature at which atmospheric water begins to condense
The temperature to which air must be cooled at a constant pressure to become saturated Example: If the air temperature is 70 degrees and the dewpoint temperature is 70 degrees the air is saturated and dew will form i e, the relative humidity is 100%
Temperature to which a given parcel of air must be cooled at constant pressure and constant water vapor content for saturation to occur. When this temperature is reached, water is condensed onto grass and other objects contacting the cooled air. When the dew point is below 32°F (0°C), it is sometimes called the frost point. The dew point may be defined as the temperature at which the saturation vapor pressure of the parcel is equal to the actual vapor pressure of the contained water vapor. (Also called Dewpoint Temperature.)
Temperature at which a vapor begins to deposit as a liquid Applies especially to water in the atmosphere Dimension See Lumber dimension
