Description
An ultra-stable sensor that can withstand extreme conditions
The measurement of soil temperature is recommended by the World Meteorological Organisation at depths of 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 cm. Proper installation of soil temperature sensors requires a lot of effort. Once installed, sensors are usually left alone without calibration for a long time. This means that the sensor and cabling should be very reliable and stable over time. ST01 is designed to be an ultra-stable sensor that can withstand the extreme conditions met in meteorological use; partially sub-soil, partially above-soil installation.
Suggested Use
- Extreme environments: arctic & desert regions, polluted soil
