Abstract
A method is useable for operating a sensor assembly for determining relative humidity in radiosondes. The sensor assembly includes a humidity sensor, a temperature sensor and a heating element. It is determined whether humidity is at or above a predetermined humidity limit selected as the limiting humidity with respect to saturation over ice. The humidity sensor is heated, at least temporarily, wherein in a temperature range below 0° C., the humidity sensor is at least temporarily heated by the heating element based on it having been determined that the humidity is at or above the predetermined humidity limit.
