Rationale

Resistive sensors are highly sensitive and cost-effective, with a long history of use in upper-air meteorology (radiosondes) and specific ground-based applications. They exhibit distinct hysteresis and degradation profiles compared to capacitive sensors. A standard is required to outline these specific limitations, calibration drift profiles, and proper handling to ensure data comparability across different measurement campaigns. Users include upper-air meteorologists, agricultural scientists, and climate researchers.
