Getting below freezing
Posted: 17 Oct 2008 06:19 AM
The featured plot is from the Humbolt SchoolNet for Thursday morning showing the flat lining in temperature around freezing before more cooling occurs just before sunrise. You will often see this as special processes occur when water begins to freeze, which releases heat and therefore slows the cooling process some. Having the dew point near 32 degrees gives an indication that frost formation was a necessary process for the temperature to cool below freezing.
