Shield or not to Shield: Effects of Solar Radiation on Water Temperature Sensor Accuracy

Temperature sensors are potentially susceptible to errors due to heating by solar radiation. Although this is well known for air temperature (Ta), significance to continuous water temperature (Tw) monitoring is relatively untested. This paper assesses radiative errors by comparing measurements of ex...
