Intercomparação de sensores de temperatura e umidade relativa para uso em campanha micrometeorológica

Abstract

In this work we present results from an intercomparison study between two CS500 temperature-relative humidity sensors and a brand new sonic anemometer/gas analyzer (Campbell Scientific Instruments – CSI IRGASON). The objective of the intercomparison was an upcoming micrometeorological experiment. For the intercomparison, all sensors were positioned at the same height over the water surface, at the Rio Verde reservoir, in the vicinity of Curitiba, PR, Brazil. The compared variables were air temperature and relative humidity. The CS500 air temperatures were compared to those from a CSI 107 temperature sensor operates with the IRGASON; for the relative humidity comparisons, water vapor concentration measured by the IRGASON was converted to an equivalent relative humidity. Standard linear correlations were calculated. The CS500s displayed good agreement with the IRGASON-derived values.
