Atmidometry

/ætmɪˈdɑmətri/ noun

Definition

The measurement and study of vapor or moisture content in the air using specialized instruments.

Etymology

From atmidometer + the suffix '-y' (denoting a science or practice), creating the discipline name for vapor measurement. Follows the pattern of thermometry (temperature measurement).

Kelly Says

Atmidometry connects to hygroscopy and psychrometrics—three fancy words for basically the same thing: figuring out how much water vapor is lurking in the air around you.
