Description
Summary:ABSTRACT: An E-type high-precision temperature sensor, which is adopted for upper air meteorology, was proposed in this paper. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method was implemented to analyze temperature rise induced by solar radiation at different altitudes and solar radiation intensities. A temperature rise correction equation was obtained by fitting the CFD results using a Broyden-Fletcher-Goldfarb-Shanno (BFGS) method. To verify the performance of the temperature sensor, an experimental platform was constructed. Through simulations and experiments, the relationship among the altitude, solar radiation intensity and radiation temperature rise was obtaned. The root-mean-square error (RMSE) between the temperature rise derived from the correction equation and that derived from the experiments is 0.013 K. The sample determination coefficient r2 of the solar radiation error correction equation is 0.9975. Keywords: High-precision temperature sensor, Computational fluid dynamics, Radiation temperature
