Paroscientific's MET4 and Fan-Aspirated MET4A Meteorological Measurement Systems are designed for GPS Meteorology applications.

The MET4 and MET4A contain a temperature and humidity probe as well as the Digiquartz® Barometric Pressure Transducer that is recognized as a field standard by the National Weather Service, FAA, Government and Research Institutions world wide.

To learn more about this topic, please review our GPS-MET slide show (select MS-Power Point Version English   Spanish    Chinese or Japanese),  and our paper presented at the PLANS 2002 symposium.

MET4

  Paroscientific Meteorological Measurement Systems offer the following advantages
Integrated Package - Barometric Pressure, Temperature and Humidity in one unit.
Environmental Enclosure - Designed for outdoor use with mounting hardware included.
Simple Installation - True "plug and play" - Connects directly to GPS receiver.
Pressure accuracy better than ±0.08 hPa - Resolution better than one microbar.
High Performance Pressure Port (DigiPort) minimizes dynamic pressure under windy conditions.
Field serviceable fan, temperature /humidity sensor and barometer
The Digiquartz® barometer used in the MET4 and MET4A has a 3-year stability warranty of better than 0.1 hPa per year
and includes a limited 5-year warranty with the first 2-years covered at 100%. The System includes a limited one-year
warranty.
