abstract = {Non-rainfall events like dew or hoar frost formation are
often neglected in the water budget, because either assumed
to be too small or their determination requires time
consuming and difficult measurements. These events supply in
many dryland ecosystems a substantial amount of water, but
their role for northern humid ecosystems is largely unknown.
There is a general need to quantify the ecological relevance
for ecosystems of the water amount from dew and hoar frost
formation. Weighable precision lysimeters were used to
determine dew and hoar frost formation for a low mountain
range and alpine grassland site for the hydrological years
2013–2015.Together dew and hoar frost formation ranged on
a yearly basis between 42.1 and 67.7 mm, which corresponds
to $4.2–6\%$ of the total annual amount of precipitation.
In drier months dew and hoar frost contributed up to
$16.1\%$ of total monthly precipitation amount. In winter
months dew and hoar frost formation contributed up to $38\%$
to the total monthly precipitation amount. Our investigation
suggests, that dew and hoar frost formation are of
ecological importance during droughts as well as cold
periods. The amounts and seasonal patterns of dew and hoar
frost formation could be predicted relatively well, based on
standard meteorological variables with the Penman-Monteith
equation. However, our results also showed, that the surface
energy balance model from Penman-Monteith underestimated the
amount of dew and hoar frost during colder periods and
specific meteorological site conditions (i.e. high wind
speeds at night). The mean underestimation between
calculated and measured dew and hoar frost on a yearly scale
were $63.2\%$ and $16.6\%$ at Rollesbroich and Gumpenstein,
respectively. Dew and hoar frost formation contributes
substantially to the water budgets of a low mountain range
and alpine grassland.},
