Air Temperature Installation
For air temperature measurements, locate probes over an open level area at
least 9 m (EPA) in diameter.
The surface should be covered by short grass or
the natural earth surface where grass does not grow.
Probes should be located
at a distance of at least four times the height of any nearby obstruction, and at
least 30 m (EPA) from large paved areas.
Sensors should be protected from
thermal radiation, and adequately ventilated.
Standard air temperature measurement heights:
1.25 to 2.0 m (WMO)
2.0 m (EPA)
2.0 m and 10.0 m temperature difference (EPA)
When exposed to sunlight, the 109 should be housed in a 41303-5A or 41303-
5B six-plate solar radiation shield.
The louvered construction of the shields
allows air to pass freely through, thereby keeping the probe at or near ambient
temperature.
The white shields reflect solar radiation.
The 41303-5A attaches
to a crossarm, mast, or user-supplied pipe with a 2.5 to 5.3 cm (1.0 to 2.1 inch)
outer diameter.
The 41303-5B attaches to a CM500-series pole or a user-
supplied pole with a 5.1 cm (2.4 inch) outer diameter.
