  • Page 38 9.Data Discussion （1） Temperature errors can occur when a sensor is placed too close to a heat source (such as a building/structure, the ground, or trees). To calibrate temperature, we recommend a mercury or red spirit (fluid) thermometer. Bi-metal (dial) and digital thermometers (from other weather stations) are not a good source and have their own margin of error.
