Attachment 2 -Temperature Dewpoint Sensor Accuracy Specification.pdf

Attachment 2 is a technical specification document detailing temperature and dewpoint sensor accuracy requirements for an Automatic Radiosonde Launching/Observing System (AROS). The accuracy specifications are defined across multiple temperature ranges, with precise measurement tolerances:

For ambient temperature, the sensor must maintain ±1 degree accuracy between -58°F to +122°F, and ±2 degrees through the remainder of its operational range. Dewpoint temperature accuracy is specified using Root Mean Square Error (RMSE) with varying precision: ±2°F RMSE from +30°F to +86°F, ±3°F RMSE from -10°F to +30°F, and ±4°F RMSE from -30°F to -10°F. These detailed specifications indicate the required precision for temperature and dewpoint measurements across different environmental conditions, which is critical for meteorological and atmospheric research equipment.
