Reverse flow thermometer housing
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-010723
A specialized enclosure designed to protect a temperature sensor from direct solar radiation and precipitation while allowing ambient air to flow past it for accurate measurement. Air enters from below, flows upwards past the sensor, and exits at the top, preventing heat buildup from solar exposure. This design minimizes measurement errors caused by radiative heating.
