“…Differences in dew deposition with height have also been reported in other studies that found dew precipitation to be increasing with height up to 100 cm above the soil (Jacobs et al, 1994;Raman et al, 1973;Subramaniam and Rao, 1983). On the other hand, Ninari and Berliner (2002) showed that water vapor adsorption adds to moisture in the soil profile as measured with micro-lysimeters.…”

“…However, the significance of these mechanisms relative to water uptake in roots are controversial, especially for crop plants (Goldsmith et al, 2013). The quantification of dew deposition amount and duration is of concern for plant disease management (Jacobs et al,1994;Pedro and Gillespie,1981;Raman et al,1973) and for estimating the potential of dew water harvesting Clus et al, 2008;Muselli et al, 2009;Sharan et al, 2007).…”

“…Most studies have focused on understanding the variation in soil moisture and land-surface evapotranspiration (Jacobs 1994;Jacobs and Verhoef 1997;Mohamed et al 2004;Zhu et al 2013). Non-rainfall processes such as dewfall have received little attention in the region.…”

Observations in the semi-arid Loess Plateau area of north-west China are utilized to reveal the characteristics and variations in the seasonal distribution of dewfall (frost) and the influence of micrometeorology, precipitation, and other weather conditions. Precipitation is the dominant water source in the Loess Plateau; however, non-rainfall water accounts for 13 % of the total land-surface water source. Dew is the second largest non-rainfall component next only to soil adsorption water. Observations show that dew (frost) occurrence is likely to occur when an inversion occurs between the heights of 1 and 4 m with a temperature difference of 0.25 K, surface wind speed of 1.5 m s −1 , and surface relative humidity greater than 80 %.

“…Plates are commonly used in crop research to measure the amount of dew on the ground and at different levels, see Jacobs et al (1994). Kidron (1997) showed that plates larger than 30 cm × 30 cm created their own microclimate resulting in larger amounts of dew and plates smaller than 5 cm × 5 cm received smaller amounts due to the impact of soil thermal properties.…”

This study measured the amount of hoar‐frost on the road surface with the help of copper plates. The amounts were compared to data collected at a station in the Road Weather information System (RWiS) together with additional measurements of the temperature and humidity profile above the road surface. The data were used to specify the weather parameters when hoar‐frost forms on the road surface and relate the measured amount of hoar‐frost and resulting friction to measured weather parameters. The aim was also to see whether there was an increased possibility of predicting the amount of hoar‐frost with additional measurements of the temperature and humidity profiles. The results of this study confirm that the amount of hoar‐frost deposited on the road surface increases with increasing average wind speed, increasing maximum difference between dew point (Td) and road surface temperature (Tr) and increased duration when Tr
