LYMAN-ALPHA HYGROMETER
DÉFINITION
- LYMAN-ALPHA HYGROMETER is a hygrometer based on the absorption of radiation by water vapor at the Lyman-alpha line, which is an emission line of atomic hydrogen at 121.567 nm; this radiation can be generated by a glow discharge in hydrogen and detection is accomplished by a nitric oxide ion chamber; Lyman-alpha hygrometers are typically used on aircraft and meteorological towers for high frequency humidity measurements.
