Humidity element

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006292

The component of a meteorological instrument specifically designed to measure the moisture content of the air. Common types include hair hygrometers, which rely on the expansion and contraction of hair strands with humidity changes, and electronic sensors that measure changes in electrical resistance or capacitance. This element is integral to hygrometers and radiosondes.
