RAD10E 10-Plate Solar Radiation Shield for Larger Sensors

Overview

The RAD10E, manufactured by MetSpec, is attached to a Campbell Scientific crossarm or mast. The RAD10E uses a double-louvered design that offers improved sensor protection from driving rain, snow, and insect intrusion. This shield also has lower self-heating in bright sunlight combined with higher temperatures (> 24°C (~75°F)) and low wind speeds (< 2 m s-1 (~4.5 mph)), giving a better measurement.
