Heated Humidity Sensor for Radiosondes
HCM03M
HMC03M is optimized for short response time even at very low temperature in the upper atmosphere. It combines on a silicon substrate a capacitive relative humidity sensor and a heating resistor (heater).
HMC03M heated humidity sensor
Response time for HMC03M
The heater is dedicated for fast recovery of the humidity sensor after condensation or icing. This leads to outstanding measuring performance in high-end weather observation.
Key Features
- Very short response time even at low temperature
- Fast recovery after condensation or icing due to sensor heating
- High sensitivity and outstanding linearity
