Condensation pressure

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-004575

The pressure at which a gas or vapor will begin to condense into a liquid at a given temperature. For a specific substance, this pressure is directly related to its saturation vapor pressure. In atmospheric science, it is less commonly used than condensation temperature, but it describes the pressure conditions under which water vapor would condense if the temperature were held constant.
