On a similar quest, i stumbled upon [1] where Hasegawa and Stokesberry
used resonant microwave cavities to measure humidity of air. The paper
gives a couple of formulas on how to calculate the frequency shift
due to air pressure, humidity and CO2 content.

I must not become metastable.
Metastability is the mind-killer.
Metastability is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my metastability.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the metastability has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
