Measuring air temperature in field studies

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

In order to find a simple technique for reducing errors in measurements of air temperature, experiments were performed in a wind tunnel using different sizes of thermocouples and a variety of shields. Thermocouples with a coat of clean, white enamel paint on the tip were simple and inexpensive, and they resulted in only small eroors due to radiation. © 1985.
