Dew Point?

Question

what is dew point measured in?

Answer 1

Degrees F or Degrees C

Could also theoretically be measured in Kelvin...but why that would be necessary I don't know.

Or at least can't think of a reason to do it at this point

Answer 2

Dew Point is measured in degrees. (F or C) and it is the temperature where water vapour condenses out of air. Where the temperature is close to the dew point, we see fog. Where the temperature is close to the dew point at ground level, we see dew on the grass.
To calculate the dew point you need to know the humidity (measured with an hygrometer) as it relates to the temperature (as measured with a thermometer),

Answer 3

Dew

Answer 4

It is measured in degrees Farenheit or degrees Celcius. The dew point is the temperature you would have to cool the air down to in order for fog to occur. So if the temperature is the same as the dew point, you could look out your window and see fog.

Answer 5

Dew point is defined as the temp that a parcel of air must be cooled to for it to become completly saturated. It is measured with a wet bulb thermometer.

Answer 6

The dew point is measured in temperature (F or C) and is the temperature that the moisture in the air begins to condense.

Answer 7

Like most have said, degrees C or F normally. If ambient temperature reaches dew point, the atmosphere is said to be saturated. However, unlike some have said, it does not guarantee fog. There are other factors involved.

Answer 8

dew point is measured in tempurature either Celsius or Farenheit.

RC

Answer 9

Dew point is the point (temp) when condensation is formed.

Answer 10

I hear it all the time on the news. It's something like the humidity, when you wake up and the water moisture on the ground plays a factor with that day's humidity. I think.
