SOLUTIONS FOR PRECISION MEASUREMENTS IN METEOROLOGY

Solutions for measuring relative humidity and other parameters in meteorological and other applications

In meteorology, the accuracy of measurement data is crucial for accurate weather forecasting and climate research. Rotronic humidity and temperature sensors have an excellent reputation for delivering precise results even in the most demanding environments, especially where high humidity and low temperatures prevail. The product range offers high performance and a wide range of configurations to suit every application, and in particular provides solutions for precision measurements in meteorology.

Even the best sensors measure inaccurately if the conditions on the sensor are not representative of the actual climate conditions. Without a suitable weather shield, the sensors will not read correctly. Weathering can affect poorly ventilated shields by creating a microclimate around the sensors, causing measurement errors.

Ventilation shields are therefore used in applications that require a high degree of precision. High-accuracy measurements are even more important for energy optimisation in HVAC applications. The more accurate the measurements, the smaller the control errors and the greater the energy savings.

Rotronic meteorological sensors combined with ventilated weather and radiation shields ensure the best possible measurement results. They can offer virtually the same performance as a “chilled mirror” meteorological system, as used by many national meteorological organisations, at a significantly lower cost.

Weather shields are crucial in meteorology and have been developed in close collaboration with MeteoSwiss.

SOLUTIONS FOR PRECISION MEASUREMENTS IN METEOROLOGY AND BEYOND

HC2-S/HC2-S3 standard heated relative humidity sensors

HC2A-S3 sensors belong to the HC2A-S sensor family. These measure humidity and temperature and calculate the dew point or frost point. The HC2A-S3H meets the highest demands for precision measurement. The same applies to the HC2A-S3A , but with a different filter.

HC2-S (3) – heated sensors are suitable for use where high humidity prevails. Under such conditions, conventional sensors can become “coated” with condensation and thus emit false readings.
