HUMS: Humidity Sensing

Summary

The objective of the Humidity Sensing (HUMS) project was to create a humidity sensor that was much faster, and also capable of measuring lower humidity levels, than was possible with existing technology.  Since H2O is a major factor in atmospheric chemistry, aircraft measurements of water vapor are quite important, but existing technology did not allow very good measurements.
