Diffusion hygrometer
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-005011
An instrument that measures atmospheric humidity by observing the rate at which water vapor diffuses through a porous membrane or into a dry gas stream. The diffusion rate is proportional to the water vapor concentration gradient. This type of hygrometer is often used for precise measurements in controlled environments.
