Precision RTD measurement in NOAA USCRN field service
Read the whitepaper directly on this page. It covers a precision temperature measurement system used in NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) USCRN climate monitoring applications.
NOAA may describe the sensing assembly as a thermometer. In industry terms, the measurement element is an RTD: a resistance temperature detector, commonly specified as Pt100 or Pt1000 depending on the measurement system.
