Best Answer

The wet-bulb depression (WBD) is the difference in temperature between the ambient air temperature (Ta) and the wet-bulb temperature (Tw), ie: WBD = (Ta-Tw), and is associated with the maximum possible lowering of air temperature (hence, the word "depression") that's possible by evaporation of water vapor into the air up to the 100% relative humidity point.
