1 INTRODUCTION Accurate air temperature measurements are essential for environmental and climate research, for which a thermometer is usually operated within a shield or screen. These protect against the effects of short-wave (solar) and long-wave (terrestrial) radiation, and precipitation.

1 INTRODUCTION Fog occurs when the atmospheric visibility is reduced below 1000 m as a result of water droplets suspended in the air (AMS, 2012). Fog can cause a significant disruption to transportation.1 This could be mitigated with accurate forecasts. However, even with modern techniques, it is still very difficult to forecast fog using numerical weather prediction (NWP) methods (Fernando et al., 2021).

1 Introduction Turbulence is estimated to cost the aviation industry around US$200 million annually in the USA alone (Eichenbaum, 2003). These costs arise partly from additional airframe fatigue, requiring maintenance and subsequent loss of productivity, as well as occasional airframe damage. Additionally, passengers and crew suffer injuries, some requiring costly hospital treatment.
