Saturation temperature

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008666

The temperature at which a substance, typically water vapor in the atmosphere, begins to condense into a liquid or deposit into a solid when cooled at constant pressure. It is also the temperature at which a liquid begins to boil at a given pressure. For atmospheric water vapor, this is equivalent to the dew point or frost point temperature.
