Overview

RAD14 METSPEC 14-Plate Solar Radiation Shield**

The RAD14 uses a double-louvered design that offers improved sensor protection from driving rain, snow, and insect intrusion. It also has lower self-heating in bright sunlight combined with higher temperatures (> 24°C (~75°F)) and low wind speeds (< 2m/s (~4.5 mph)), providing a better measurement.

Note: In the image, the RAD14 is mounted to a crossarm with an HMP155A-L.
