===Non-adiabatic cooling===
Along with adiabatic cooling that requires a lifting agent, three major nonadiabatic mechanisms exist for lowering the temperature of the air to its dew point. Conductive, radiational, and evaporative cooling require no lifting mechanism and can cause condensation at surface level resulting in the formation of [[fog]].<ref name="fog formation">[[#Ackerman|Ackerman]], p. 109</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Glossary of Meteorology |year=2009 |title=Radiational cooling |url=http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary/search?p=1&query=radiational+cooling&submit=Search |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110512161339/http://amsglossary.allenpress.com/glossary/search?p=1&query=radiational+cooling&submit=Search |archive-date=12 May 2011 |access-date=27 December 2008 |publisher=[[American Meteorological Society]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Fovell, Robert |year=2004 |title=Approaches to saturation |url=http://www.atmos.ucla.edu/~fovell/AS3downloads/saturation.pdf |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090225074155/http://www.atmos.ucla.edu/~fovell/AS3downloads/saturation.pdf |archive-date=25 February 2009 |access-date=7 February 2009 |publisher=[[University of California in Los Angeles]]}}</ref>
