Hygrometer An instrument which measures the water vapor content in the atmosphere. There are several different means of transduction used in measuring this quantity and hence various types of hygrometers. These are: a) the psychrometer, ...
Hygrometers are instruments used for measuring humidity. The simplest form of a hygrometer consists of two thermometers, one of which has its bulb constantly kept wet.
hygrometer
Any instrument used to measure the water vapor content of an air parcel (atmospheric humidity). A hair hygrometer measures the relative humidity; a dewpoint hygrometer measures the dewpoint temperature. See also psychrometer.

Torsion hygrometer A hygrometer in which the rotation of the hygrometric element is a function of humidity.
HygrometerAn instrument used to measure humidity.Ice crystalsIce crystals are tiny sprinkles that sparkle in the sunshine like diamond dust and hang in the air.
Conventional thermometers, hygrometers, barometers and rain-gauges are of course available, but rugged, easy-to-use distant-reading electronic units to monitor temperature, relative humidity and rainfall are also offered.

Hyperthermia: When the human body overheats from prolonged periods of hot weather or being in the heat.
An instrument used to measure the water vapor content of the air; a hygrometer consisting essentially of two similar thermometers with the bulb of one being kept wet so that the cooling that results from evaporation makes it register a lower ...

Atmospheric Stability
air is stable if it is at the same density as surrounding air, so it will not tend to rise or fall but will tend to remain in place ...
Sling psychromete - a hygrometer for measuring relative humidity. It has two thermometers, one with a wet bulb and one with dry. Can be whirled around to ventilate.
