Case Studies

Apogee Instruments' TS-100 Fan Aspirated Radiation Shield is used in eight remote-access, solar powered weather stations that stream real-time weather data.

Eight TS-100 shields used to provide air temperature measurements to monitor long-term ecological health dynamics within wet eucalyptus forest at the Warra long-term ecological research site (LTER).

The USU weather station uses both an aspirated and static shield to monitor air temperature. A real-time graph on the site shows errors that occur when using static shields.
