Following the SCP project, we tested each sonic in a zero-wind enclosure within the EOL temperature chamber, measuring wind component offsets and sonic temperature errors over the nominal range -30 C to 55 C. The following table shows wind component offsets as okay if the u and v offsets are less than +/- 4 cm/s and the w offsets less than +/- 2 cm/s (between - 20 C and 30 C). The sonic temperature corrections are listed as the slope and offset of a linear fit (between -20 C and 30 C), Tc = offset + slope*tc.sonic, where Tc is calculated from temperature, relative humidity, and pressure measured in the zero-wind enclosure.
