Dew point temperature errors in weather stations could impact accuracy.
The article explores how errors in measuring temperature and humidity can lead to inaccuracies in calculating dew point temperature. The researchers found that errors in dew point temperature are highest in dry air and increase with higher temperatures. Even with modern sensors, the dew point error can be more than double the dry bulb sensor error in dry conditions. This study provides error calculations for different temperature and humidity combinations, showing that automated weather stations may have significant inaccuracies in computed dew point temperature.
