This is a solar radiation shield for mounting a temperature sensor outdoors. The shield allows air to flow through freely, but protects the thermometer from direct and reflected solar radiation. This provides a much more accurate temperature reading during daylight hours.
The shield consists of several parts:
Several rings that are open in the middle for sensor equipment
Solid plates to shield the top and bottom
A larger top plate to provide extra shade and room for batteries or other non-sensor electronics
A small plastic tripod that fits under the top plate to provide locations to zip-tie wires, batteries, chargers, etc.
Solar cell mounting brackets
An internal grid to secure sensors
Pole mounting plates for various pole configurations
