If a high-pressure system moves into Wisconsin from the south during the summer . . . Continue reading
How is the Dew Point Measured?
A dew point hygrometer consists of a small mirror, a narrow light beam and a light detector. The light beam is reflected off the mirror into the detector, which measures the brightness of the reflected light . . . Continue reading
