Instrument: Improved Meteorological Recorder
An IMET Recorder is an instrument package that can be mounted on a ship or buoy to record mean weather data including air and sea-surface temperature, incoming short and long-wave radiation, precipitation, humidity, wind velocity and barometric pressure. Each sensor in the system communicates digitally and returns calibrated values to a central data recorder.
Sensors mounted on the bow mast at a height of 20 m above the waterline.
