Heusinkveld Original paper is accessible at: https://doi.org/10.3390/atmos17080724 The one water flux without a standard sensor Meteorological stations measure temperature, precipitation, wind, humidity, and radiation with standard instruments. Dew is different. There is no defined sensor for dew. How much dew forms depends on the surface as well as the atmosphere: sky view, atmospheric emissivity, water vapor content, wind speed,

That is why it has attracted so much attention. Its daily water output, however, depends on more t

MOFs, hygroscopic hydrogels, carbon sorbents, and salt-loaded porous matrices can now capture substantial amounts of water from air. Several practical challenges remain, however: Many high-performance sorbents are made f
