Subject:
SGP/MET/E13 - Temperature/humidity sensor occasionally failed 6-month field calibration 
checks
DataStreams:sgpmetE13.b1
Description:
The temperature/humidity sensor has not been calibrated since 6/18/2007. It failed four 
6-month field calibration checks during this time, but has passed all field calibration 
checks after 4/25/2013.

In comparison with a nearby instruments, there is evidence of the sensor relative humidity 
reading lower than expected, especially in high humidity/nighttime situations. There is 
also evidence of a possible small cold bias in the temperature data. An exit calibration 
will characterize severity when the sensor is replaced.

In general, the relative humidity may have been subject to drift during this time. The 
manufacturer characterizes sensor drift at <1% / year.
Suggestions: 
Please contact the mentor for specific information regarding the field calibration 

check results, if necessary.
