Temperature measurements from radiation shields with offset-corrected DS18B20 sensors and PT100 reference
Abstract
This dataset contains minute-resolution air temperature measurements collected from three passive radiation shields with different conceptual designs. A calibrated platinum resistance thermometer PT100 (Meteoservis) is used as the reference sensor, while three DS18B20 digital temperature sensors are installed in individual radiation shields. Sensor-specific systematic offsets of DS18B20 sensors were estimated during a stable winter night period without solar radiation and subsequently applied to the entire dataset. The corrected temperature series are provided to separate sensor calibration bias from radiation-induced shield errors. The dataset includes:-- Reference air temperature measured by a calibrated PT100 sensor.-- Offset-corrected temperature measurements from three DS18B20 sensors located in different radiation shields.-- Time stamps in local time (Europe/Prague) with 1-minute temporal resolution (05--12/25). The data can be used for validation of radiation shield designs, evaluation of passive ventilation efficiency, and studies of radiation-induced temperature measurement errors.
