Webinar: The Impact of Dew, Frost, and Soiling on Solar Radiation Monitoring – and Ways to Mitigate it

Dew, frost, and soiling on the optical dome all have a significant impact on the measurement quality of solar radiation monitoring instruments (errors can reach up to 30-40%). Luckily, there are ways to deal with this: ventilation and heating.

To mitigate false readings, OTT HydroMet offers an external ventilation and heating unit for its pyranometers, pyrgeometers, and UV radiometers; the Kipp & Zonen CVF4.

Watch this 55-minute webinar with OTT HydroMet’s experts on solar radiation monitoring, Clive Lee and Victor Cassella, for free.
