  "term": "Rosemount temperature housing",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "A specific type of radiation shield designed to protect an air temperature sensor from solar radiation and precipitation while allowing for adequate ventilation. The housing consists of multiple concentric, downward-facing funnels or plates that create a tortuous path for airflow, minimizing radiative heating errors in the temperature measurement. This design is widely used on research aircraft for collecting accurate in-flight atmospheric temperature data.",
