β¦ Synopsis
An improved instrument for determining water potential by measuring dewpoint depression has been developed. Theoretical considerations show the instrument to have a sensitivity of 0.75 uV bar -~ and a change in sensitivity with temperature of 0.45% Β°C-~. Without compensation for changes in Peltier cooling, sensitivity, and heat dissipation with temperature, errors of +-6% result from changing the temperature of the sensor between 20 and 50Β°C. Performance of the instrument appears to agree well with the theory developed for the technique.
