A particularly sensitive and accurate type of hygrometer has been developed in recent years by the Instrument Division of the U. S. Weather Bureau. The device, known as the infrared hygrometer, employs a beam of infrared light projected through the air to a photo-electric detector. Two separate wave lengths of light are used; one is absorbed by water vapor and the other passes through undiminished. The ratio of the infrared light transmitted by the different wave lengths is a direct indication of the amount of water vapor in the light path. 1, record 5, English, - infrared%20hygrometer

Indice température-humidité. D'origine américaine, l'indice température-humidité est similaire à l'humidex canadien. C'est l'équivalent estival du facteur éolien en hiver. De même que le vent accentue la perception (et l'impact physiologique) du froid, l'humidité accentue la perception et l'impact de la chaleur. Chacun sait qu'un temps chaud et humide est beaucoup plus pénible qu'un temps chaud et sec! 4, record 6, French, - indice%20temp%C3%A9rature%2Dhumidit%C3%A9

Maximum evapotranspiration (ETm) was estimated by the water balance method and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) by the following methods: Penman, class A pan, solar radiation and Thornthwaite. The crop coefficient values varied with the method used to estimate the reference evapotranspiration, although they have presented the same trends regardless the method involved. 1, record 15, English, - reference%20evapotranspiration

Record number: 15, Textual support number: 3 CONT
The CIMIS weather stations use the gathered data in what is known as a "modified Penman" equation to calculate ETo. ETo is one standard for a reference evapotranspiration. It is the ET of a well-watered, lush grass pasture. Other commonly used standards are ETp, which is the ET of a lush, well-watered alfalfa, and ETpan, which is the evaporation from a U. S. Weather Bureau Class A evaporation pan. 5, record 15, English, - reference%20evapotranspiration

Cette grandeur est celle que l'on a longtemps appelée évapotranspiration potentielle ETP. De même l'évaporation réelle ET correspond à ce que l'on a longtemps appelé évapotranspiration réelle ETR. 1, record 15, French, - %C3%A9vapotranspiration%20de%20r%C3%A9f%C3%A9rence
