MET3A Broadband Fan-Aspirated Meteorological Measurement System

Paroscientific's Met3 and fan-aspirated Met3A Meteorological Measurement Systems are specially designed for GPS Meteorology applications and are widely used by SuomiNET and International GPS System (IGS) participants.

The MET3 and MET3A contain temperature and humidity sensors as well as the Digiquartz® Barometric Pressure Transducer that is recognized as a field standard by the National Weather Service, FAA, Government, Military, and Research Institutions world wide.

To learn more about this topic, please review our GPS-MET slide show (select English Spanish Chinese or Japanese), and our paper presented at the PLANS 2002 symposium.

Our GPS-MET poster presentation entitled "Broadband Meteorological Sensors Co-located with GPS Receivers for Geophysical and Atmospheric Measurements" is also available for your review.

MET3 Broadband Meteorological Measurement System

Paroscientific Meteorological Measurement Systems offer the following advantages
	Integrated Package - Barometric Pressure, Temperature and Humidity in one unit.
	Environmental Enclosure - Designed for outdoors use with mounting hardware included.
	Simple Installation - True "plug and play" - Connects directly to the Trimble GPS receiver.
	Pressure accuracy better than ±0.08 hPa - Resolution better than one microbar.
	Wind tunnel proven pressure port to minimize wind - induced pressure effects and integral solar radiation shield to reduce thermal errors. The fan-aspirated MET3A has temperature accuracy better than ±0.1 degree C and errors less than 0.1 hPa under strong winds (40 knots).
	The longest and most complete warranty in the industry- A 5 year limited warranty on the pressure transducer, a free calibration AND a guarantee that the barometer will maintain a stability of at least 0.1 hPa per year for 3 years.
	Measurement of other geophysical and atmospheric phenomenon. (Click here)
