Dieses Temperaturniveau bezeichnet man als den Taupunkt.
Bei weiterer Abkühlung lagert sich der überschüssige Wasserdampf entweder an festen Oberflächen ( Taubildung ) oder an Kondensationskeimen an, wobei Tröpfchen entstehen.
Als Kondensationskeime dienen kleinste, in der Luft fast immer reichlich vorhandene, atmosphärische Schwebteilchen ( Aerosole ) verschiedenster Herkunft.
www.mpimet.mpg.deThe temperature at which this starts to happen is known as the dew point.
Further cooling results in the excess water vapour being deposited onto fixed surfaces ( dew formation ) or onto condensation nuclei, leading to the formation of droplets.
Tiny particles of various origin, the so-called aerosols, are usually present in abundance in the atmosphere and serve as these condensation nuclei.
