Land Instrument Screens
The METSPEC meteorological house is suitable to protect instrument and reduces measurement errors compared to conventional wooden Stevenson houses.
Reflective surface, combined with an inner barrier of non reflective, black louvers, prevents sunlight and reflected radiation reaching the sensors or thermometers, whilst still allowing air to flow across them. Errors under adverse conditions are significantly less than inside the old wooden Stevenson screens.
Secure accommodation for a complete range of thermometers, sensors and larger equipment. Complete customisation of the interior can be carried out.
Key Features
• Extremely durable design
• Accuracy in trials
• Improved protection against wind-blown precipitation
• Secure installation of thermometers, with stable mounting
• Durable white reflective UV stable plastic and aluminium frame
Accuracy:
Testing of Metspec Screens has been carried out by several national meteorological services.
For Metspec standard range of Screens, in conditions of high solar radiation and wind speeds less than 1 m/s the readings were compared to aspirated shields and traditional wooden Stevenson Screens. The errors were less than those recorded in wooden Stevenson and close to those in aspirated shields.
