  "term": "Torsion hygrometer",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An instrument used to measure atmospheric humidity, typically employing a hygroscopic fiber or material that twists in response to changes in moisture content. The degree of twisting is then translated into a humidity reading. This type of hygrometer is less common than electronic sensors but offers a direct mechanical response to humidity variations.",
