Observations of the relative humidity in the katabatic wind area, Mizuho Station in East Antarctica

Two types of humidity sensors were available at Mizuho Station in 1979 and 1980. One was Panametric's hygrometer which measures the electric capacity of Al_2O_3 sensor, and the other was a mirror-type hygrometer made by EG&G. The result of humidity observations using these hygrometers sugge...

Description
Summary:Two types of humidity sensors were available at Mizuho Station in 1979 and 1980. One was Panametric's hygrometer which measures the electric capacity of Al_2O_3 sensor, and the other was a mirror-type hygrometer made by EG&G. The result of humidity observations using these hygrometers suggests that the air at Mizuho Station in winter would be sometimes saturated in respect to ice.
