A sling psychrometer (or hygrometer) uses the difference in readings between a wet bulb thermometer and another with a dry bulb to measure the relative humidity.
The bulb that is wet will cool by evaporation to the "dew point", which is the temperature at which the current humidity would be the maximum possible. Comparing that to the dry bulb (the general air temperature) on a comparative chart will yield the approximate relative humidity.

What instrument that measures relative humidity is called?
psychrometer
An instrument that measures relative humidity is called a what?
humidity is moisture in the air and is measured with a hygrometer
What weather instrument is used for measuring relative humidity?
Humidity can be directly measured by forced condensation either by pressurized or reduce the temperature and measure the water content directly. Alternative to direct measurement, humidity can be measure using air electro-conductivity since presence of water would increase the conductivity so it could interpret the conductivity to water content.
What two temperatures read nearly the same on a psychrometer you can conclude that?
the air has a high relative humidity
What equipment would you need to design an experiment to determine the relative humidity of the air?
a psychrometer or two thermometers
What are the units that a sling psychrometer measure?
Relative humidity
An instrument that measure relative humidity is called a?
psychrometer
What does a phsycrometer do?
A psychrometer is an instrument commonly used to measure the relative humidity.
Does a psychrometer measure relative humidity?
Because u have to put it in water then spin it around
What unit of measure does a psychrometer measure in?
Like in a Hygrometer to measure humidity you use percentage (%)
Is a psychrometer used in measuring wind?
No. A psychrometer measures relative humidity.
What A psychrometer measure .?
Humidity
What is the purpose of the psychrometer?
The purpose of the psychrometer is to estimate Relative Humidity of Air. It does it by getting the dry and wet bulb temperatures. Then Relative Humidity is read on a chart.
A psychrometer is used to measure?
Humidity
What instrument that measures relative humidity is called?

What does Sling Psychrometer measure?
It measures humidity
What is a psychrometer in earth science?
An instrument for measuring relative humidity.
