Session 13 Intercomparison and Calibration of Instruments

Thursday, 16 January 2020: 10:30 AM-12:00 PM
203 (Boston Convention and Exhibition Center)
Host: 20th Symposium on Meteorological Observation and Instrumentation
Chair:
Udaysankar Nair, Univ. of Alabama, Department of Atmospheric Science, Huntsville, AL

As sensor technology evolves, so does the need to establish proper calibration procedures and methods for intercomparing sensors. Topics in this session include instrument intercomparisons techniques and analyses, methods for developing sensor intercomparisons, results from sensor intercomparisons, calibration procedures for new sensors, and improved calibration procedures for existing sensors.
