Subject: Dew Formation
Date: Sat, 13 Mar 2004 13:52:26 -0500
When dew forms on clear nights, it will heavily wet lawns
but will hardly ever leave visible moisture on concrete
walkways or asphalt roads. There are many factors that
regulate condensation: temperature, available condensation
nucleii, curvature, hydrophilic surfaces, etc. - but I am
having difficulty identifying the primary one in this
case. Any ideas out there?
