Definition
The temperature to which air must be cooled, at constant pressure and moisture content, for condensation to begin. It is measured with a wet and dry bulb hygrometer, the difference between the readings being the wet bulb depression. When air temperature and dew point converge to within about one degree Celsius, fog or low cloud is likely; comparing dew point with sea surface temperature is the standard test for sea fog risk.
