Sensor Calibration

A sensor calibration team will be set up, particulary for calibrating SensorScope sensors.

The calibration team will consist of two parts:

  • EAWAG will be responsible for calibrating ground/water based sensors
  • SLF will be responsible for calibrating meteorological sensors


Ground/Water based sensors

Meteorological sensors

The main tool for calibration of these sensors will be calibration in the SLF wind tunnel, where hotwires are currently used, calibrated using a fan based device. Several of the meteorological parameters are available as standard parameters from the wind tunnel.
