wind sensors - hygro thermal sensors

Hygro-Thermal Sensors

Thermal sensors measure air temperature, while hygro-sensors measure air humidity. Both sensors are often applied in combination to reduce cost. The calculation of the air humidity does not directly influence a wind site assessment, but knowing this parameter helps assessing the potential danger of ice build-up at the measuring location. The temperature sensor should always be mounted at a height of at least 10m to ensure sufficient distance from heat radiating from the earth.
