The dew point depression (T-Td) is the difference between the
atmosphere. A lower dew point depression indicates that the air is more moist at a given temperature.[1]
: 83
For a constant temperature, the smaller the difference, the more
buoyant.[citation needed
]
As it measures moisture content in the atmosphere, the dew point depression is also an important indicator in agricultural and forest meteorology, particularly in predicting wildfires.[citation needed]
