The target application of this study is airborne atmospheric measurements, in particular at the top of troposphere and in stratosphere. The cavity ring-down spectroscopy was used to achieve high sensitivity. In order to avoid interference of the results by water desorbed from the instrument walls, the open-path solution was applied. Tests of the instrument, performed in a climatic chamber, have shown some advantages of this concept over typical hygrometers designed for similar applications.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Highly sensitive airborne open path optical hygrometer for upper air measurements – proof of concept}, URL={http://www.czasopisma.pan.pl/Content/108927/PDF/art_12.pdf}, doi={10.24425/mms.2018.124877}, keywords={humidity, hygrometer, laser, absorption, CRDS}, }
