Statement

WMO (1992) defines air temperature as “the temperature indicated by a thermometer exposed to the air in

a place sheltered from direct solar radiation”. Although this definition cannot be used as the definition of the thermodynamic quantity itself, it is suitable for most applications.

Temperature sensitive element is a thermoresistance Pt100 type, the humidity sensitive element is a capacitive plate. The sensitive elements are protected from incident solar radiation by a double radiation shield. The thermohygrometer should be installed at 1,5 - 2 mt from the ground (see WMO n° 8 part 2).
