The present invention is a humidity sensor which can be used in a radiosonde. The humidity sensor includes a heat sink attached to the radiosonde, a Peltier cooler attached to the heat sink, a carbon element with a thermistor attached therein or thereon, and a control means. The resistance of the carbon element is adjusted to a predetermined level to maintain a relative humidity of about 33, in particular. The control means monitors this resistance and adjusts the Peltier cooler accordingly. The thermistor responding to the temperature of the carbon element outputs a resistance indicative of the temperature on the sensor surface.
