(meteorology)

The number of degrees the dew point is found to be lower than the temperature.

Depending upon the intensity of near surface temperature gradients, following two criteria are considered in terms of temperature at 2 meters ([T.sub.2]), surface temperature ([T.sub.surf]), and dew-point depression temperature ([T.sub.Dep]) subject to satisfying (1) and (2) above.

And the dew-point depression temperature is less than 8[degrees]C.

At this altitude, there's a 15-degree C dew-point depression (temperature/dew-point spread).
