Advancements in the field of hygrometry

Abstract

It is reported about the advancements in the field of hygrometry that have been reached in the course of the past few decades, both with regard to thermodynamics and to measurement techniques. This is systematically done with regard to the achievable accuracy, starting from the primary standard up to the working instrument for operational measuring. Special emphasis is laid upon the requirements in the field of meteorology.
