Atmospheric Exposure: General
• Representativeness– Synoptic ~100 km– Microscale ~10 km
• Outdoor instruments should be installed on a level piece of ground, preferably no smaller than 25 m x 25 m.
• For climate studies, no changes in environment – was a climate station in our parking lot but then CSS was expanded.
• Level ground. http://www.wmo.int/pages/prog/www/IMOP/CIMO-

Atmospheric Exposure: Temperature
• Minimize radiative heating• Maximize ventilation (without compressive heating)• Air is a poor conductor• Screened shelters induce ~1 m/s wind• WMO suggests > 2.5 m/s ventilation
Radiation errorWhere Kr = sensor views = Stephan Boltzmann conste = emissivityAr = area of radiating body
Tt = Temp of air at time t
Tr = Temp of radiatnig body
H conductive heat transf coefAc = area for convection

Traditional Weather Shelter

Inside Weather Shelter
WMO guidelines call for accuracy of +/- 0.1 °C and a 20 s time constant.
Is this achievable with our -20 to 100 °C thermometers?

A Class 1 WMO site has
1. Flat horizontal land surrounded by open space with slope <19o.2. Natural vegetation < 10 cm high.3. More than 100 m standoff from heat source, building, water body, or projected shade.

Atmospheric Exposure: Anemometers
• From the UK Met office Handbook
• Standard exposure = 10 m with no obstructions within 300 m.
• For small obstructions of height h, the anemometer should be h+10 m.
• If obstruction height h >12m and lies within h in the horizontal (X ≤ h), then the sensor should be 1.75 to 2.25 h above ground level.
• If the distance to the obstruction is greater than 30 h then the sensor need
only be h m agl.
X
If h > 12 m and X ≤ h then site sensor ~2h agl. If X ≥ 30h then site senor at h.

Atmospheric Exposure: Radiation
• Obstructions– Absorb solar radiation– Reflect solar radiation– Emit IR radiation
See: Latimer Radiation Measurement For an essay on correction for obstructions to diffuse radiation.

Example of signal averaging to reduce noise from Krotkov et al., JGR, 2008.
The full benefit of spatial and temporal averaging is seldom realized.
