Ensuring measurement quality through standardization, traceability, instrument maintenance and calibration

This study explores how environmental conditions affect air temperature measurements at ground‑based stations. Using six identical thermometers, artificially ventilated and installed at two heights, the analysis reveals that wind, humidity, fog, condensation and solar heating introduce differences among the sensor readings. Specifically, the air temperature uncertainty due to wind speed and relative humidity was calculated, obtaining values between 0.03°C and 0.12°C.
