Saturation point

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008661

The specific temperature and pressure at which air can hold no more water vapor, meaning it is fully saturated. At this point, the relative humidity is 100%, and any further cooling or addition of water vapor will result in condensation. The saturation point is equivalent to the dew point temperature for a given amount of moisture.
