Despite tough conditions with little rain, air humidity reaches 98%, says UTEC.
While Shaman's findings are "important, " according to Gardam, the challenge will now be to see if air humidity affects the spread of the disease among humans in the real world.
More detailed climatic data have been obtained since 1998 at the Martial Este Glacier, including air temperature, humidity and solar radiation.
Fluctuations in temperature, air quality and humidity will be recorded along with noise levels and foot traffic to provide a real-time breakdown of activity within the Moscone Center.
Growers and distributors have invested in "ripe rooms, " where temperature, humidity and air flow are all regulated.

Up till now, cabin air systems have kept humidity very low: about 5%.
The Airbus A350 will offer similar improvements in humidity and air pressure.
The strength of the high-tech material allows airlines to raise cabin air pressure and increase humidity, which should make passengers more comfortable on long flights.
The Met Office's "feels like temperature" takes into account expected air temperature, relative humidity and the strength of the wind at around 5 feet (1.5m) - the typical height of a person's face.
This contraption extracts humidity from the air, creating moisture which is condensed and collected.
The panel produces clean water from the humidity in the air, through filters.
This means that it should be lighter and able to maintain higher cabin humidity which improves air quality for passengers.

Then researchers fan out across the forest measuring the temperature and the humidity of the air (two of the factors that determine how a fire will behave), and recording the amount of woody fuel in the forest and the moisture in that fuel.
The assessment came with a warning: Operating procedures are available to maintain power in the unlikely event that a combination of severe conditions a power outage and delayed transmission projects occur at the same time as a prolonged heat wave with high humidity that keeps air conditioners running nearly non-stop.
"In Antarctica, as the air temperature warms up, the humidity rises and the ability of snowfall to occur increases, " McClintock said.
Shaman converted the guinea pig data from relative humidity to absolute humidity and found the link between air moisture and flu spread got much stronger.
Most commercial aircraft in service recirculate 50 percent of the air delivered to the passenger cabin for improved control of cabin circulation, humidity and fuel efficiency.
Air in airplanes is extremely dry, and viruses tend to thrive in low-humidity conditions.
Absolute humidity, on the other hand, refers to the actual amount of water vapor in the air regardless of saturation.
The air that swept across the parched inland prairie was soft and cool, with just a hint of the humidity that soaks Florida in the summer months.
The cloud characteristics included differences in the ease with which moist air in the tropics travels into the upper atmosphere, the speed with which raindrops fatten and the level of humidity required for clouds to form.
