Description

Instrument shelters protect seasons and other instruments against errors and damage due to solar radiation wind and precipitation. This large instrument shelter is built to National Weather Service standards. The enclosure is large enough to house several recording instruments, such as hygrothermographs. Thermometers and sensor probe can be mounted on a board which span inside of the box. The shelter is constructed of clear pine and painted with three coats of white latex paint. It has louvers on all four sides and vents in the bottom. This allows ambient conditions to exist inside, while radiation and precipitation are excluded. A double roof provides added protection against direct solar radiation. A lock and key are included for security.
