There are three ways to measure relative humidity. Current automated weather systems measure the reflection of a beam of light on a mirror. The mirror is chilled until atmospheric moisture condenses ...

Dew point can be calculated using the air temperature and a relative humidity value, which is measured using something called a sling psychrometer. A psychrometer is a metal rod, around 6 inches long, ...

Relative humidity has been used to describe moisture levels in the atmosphere for so long that it has become the most common (though often misunderstood) moisture measurement. And there is truth to ...

“Relative humidity”, in a gross over-simplification, is the amount of moisture present in the air compared to how much moisture COULD be present at a given temperature. True meteorologists will ...

Air pollution is not taken into consideration. Actually, relative humidity is not directly measured. The air temperature and dew point temperature are measured, and the relative humidity is then ...

A relative humidity meter can be built using a sensor with a capacitive response and a PIC microcontroller (MCU), as shown in the figure. The capacitance range of the sensor, the HS1101 from Humirel ...

CORPUS CHRISTI, Texas — You see it all the time. The humidity is 100%! So humid! Air you can wear! While that may be true *at times*, it doesn't paint the full picture. When humidity is expressed as a ...

PHILADELPHIA (CBS) -- You may have noticed that in our broadcasts here on CBS3, we constantly refer to a thing called the "dewpoint" during the summer months. Many have asked "what about the relative ...

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — As we head into the spring and summer, meteorologists are going to talk more about humidity and dew point. But, what’s the difference? You might be used to checking the humidity ...

Dew point/relative humidity questions come up fairly often and this is a good one. Water vapor in the atmosphere is pretty important for deep-sky observing and photography. The atmosphere can only ...
