Relative humidity: Solid-state ceramic dielectric sensor

  • Height above ground level: 10 metres.

Rainfall: Optical sensor

Barometric pressure: Solid-state sensor

  • Height above ground level: 10 metres.

Solar radiation: Pyranometer

  • Height above ground level: 10 metres.

PM10/PM2.5: Scattered light spectrometry (TAPI Model 640X) operated in accordance with USEPA equivalence method designation requirements
