Development of Fast Response Temperature and Water Vapor Sensors.

Abstract

The design and development of high speed, and high resolution sensors for micrometeorological measurements of atmospheric temperature and water vapor is described. The significant characteristics are a rapid response (time constant of 0.05 sec.), and high resolution (0.01C temperature and 0.05 gm/cubic meter water vapor) combined with a 20 cm vertical sensing path length and good long-term stability. The instruments have been designed for a specific meteorological study and will interface with other existing equipment both as regards the output signals and the physical mounting of the sensor heads. Detailed design and error analysis is presented. (Author)
