  "id": "MLC-T-MET-006366",
  "term": "Hygristor",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A type of resistor whose electrical resistance changes in response to variations in ambient humidity. It is constructed from a hygroscopic material, such as lithium chloride or a conductive polymer, that absorbs or releases water vapor, altering its conductivity. Hygristors are used as the sensing element in certain electronic hygrometers for measuring relative humidity.",
