RE: [ATM] asymptote to ambient

["Donald Good" <donald.good@comcast.net>]

I read in a recent review of dew heaters that a mirror can drop below
ambient by radiative cooling.  If this is also below the dew point, dew
forms.  So by considering only conduction with the air, the approach to
ambient is asymptotic.  But by adding in radiative cooling, it is reachable.
