AN ELECTROCHEMICAL TECHNIQUE FOR MEASUREMENTS OF TIME OF WETNES.

An electrochemical technique for measurement of time of wetness (TOW) is described. The method is based upon measurement of the current generated in electrolytic Cu/Cu celles at the time of atmospheric exposure. When this current exceeds a "wet" threshold value TOW is recorded by the instrument. The instrument which allows for recording of 6 sensors simultaneously is fully automatic with computerized data handling and analyses (NILU-WETCORR).
