Air Temperature Measuring

Requirement Identifier C_M_F_airTemperatureMeasuring

Name: Air Temperature Measuring

Text: The PlanCT^TM System shall be able to measure the air temperature in the foliage zone.

Required technical parameters:

Stock temperature: > -40 Grad Celsius .. < +125 Grad Celsius
Operating temperature: > -35 Grad Celsius .. < +85 Grad Celsius
Measurement range: > -35 Grad Celsius .. < +85 Grad Celsius
Maximal mass: 100 g
Standard deviation error: < 1 %
Accuracy: standard deviation error + max 2 % of the measured value
Resolution (in case of digitalized output): min 10 bit

Rationale: Different plant diseases are sensitive for temperature changes. This is a key input parameter for the Decision Support Module.

Level | Type | Subtype: Component Requirement | Mandatory | Functional Requirement

Source: Temperature is one of the most critical parameter (along the precipitation data) of the plant disease forecasting algorithms. (Hlaszny dr., Edit)

Importance: 10 of 10

Verification/Validation Method: A heat chamber test with a calibrated reference sensor and predefined heat profile shall be evaluated.

Verification/Validation Status: not yet in progress

Note: The air temperature sensor shall be shielded against the effect of direct solar radiation causing inaccurate readings.
