The scientific measurement and study of atmospheric evaporation and water vapor content.
From 'atmometer' + '-y' (suffix forming nouns indicating practices or sciences). Coined in the 1800s as a formal field of atmospheric science study.
Atmometry might sound fancy, but it's essentially the science of asking 'where does all that puddle go?' — and scientists actually need precise measurements to answer it!
