Temperature and Relative Humidity sensor

Air temperature inside the greenhouse (°F) is measured with an aspirated sensor, located 6' above ground at the middle of the centerline of the greenhouse

Relative humidity inside the greenhouse (%)
Same location of Tin sensor

Weather station Light  

Air temperature outside the greenhouse (°F)
This sensor is shielded from sun, and located 22' above ground in the centerline of the south side of the greenhouse

Solar radiation outside the greenhouse (W/m2) [in the range of 380-1100 nm]
Same location of Tout sensor
   
  CO2 sensor

Atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration inside the greenhouse (ppm) is measured with a diffusion sensor located 6' above ground level and 12' from the north wall and at the centerline of greenhouse
