ABSTRACT
The oxygen sensitivity of krypton and Lyman-a hygrometers is studied. Using a dewpoint generator and a controlled nitrogen/oxygen flow the extinction coefficients of five hygrometers associated with the third-order Taylor expansion of the Lambert-Beer law around reference conditions for oxygen and for water vapor were measured. Latent heat flux corrections for cross-talk of the sensible heat flux are given as a function of the Bowen ratio. The spread observed in oxygen sensitivities calls for individual oxygen calibrations for each apparatus. It is found that. the separation between ...
