Ny-Ålesund is the northernmost municipality in the world.

As one of the world's leading manufacturers of measuring instruments and meteorological shelters, we participate in the international EMPIR 19SIP06 Coat project [1], supported by the WMO (World Meteorological Organization).

The project runs from June 2022 to June 2023 on the Svalbard archipelago in Norway.

The aim is to increase the comparability of air temperature measurements in Arctic conditions.

Professional radiation shield for protection of temperature sensors or combined temperature / humidity sensors, weather monitor and datalogger. Passive, naturally ventilated.

The Multi-plate radiation shield is used to protect weather monitor systems and provides the most accurate climate measurement results. The uniquely designed screen minimizes solar radiation reaching the sensor, minimizes radiation absorbed by the screen, and maximizes ambient airflow around the weather station sensor.

The surface exposed to sunlight is made of highly reflective UV and long-term stable ASA plastic. The inner surfaces of the screen are made of matt black plastic to minimize internal reflections. A large 210mm diameter of 14 plates is designed to provide full protection for measuring sensor.

Low cost replacement for Stevenson screen, taking advantage of reduced maintenance and better performance due to the low time constant compared to the traditional Stevenson screen.
