Meteorological Data. Seller must supply ambient dry-bulb temperature data, relative humidity data, and barometric pressure data from the site. The sensors and equipment used to measure and record this data must represent ambient conditions at the site and must be installed in a way that the sensor readings are not adversely affected by buildings, vents, structures, or local obstacles. The siting of the equipment and sensors must be consistent with EPA guidelines for meteorological monitoring programs ( EPA (1987). On-Site Meteorological Program Guidance for Regulatory Modeling Applications, EPA-450/4-87-013. Office of Air Quality Planning and Standards, Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx 00000). Buyer reserves the right to review the placement of the meteorological equipment and sensors and approve/disapprove the location. The sensors must meet the following specifications: Dry Bulb Temperature: Accuracy +/- 0.10 Deg C over the full range; Range: -50 Deg C to + 50 Deg C; Time Constant: </= 3.6 seconds; Linearity: +/- 0.16 Deg C Relative Humidity: Accuracy < +/- 1% RH from 10% to 90%; Range 0 to 100%; Operating Temperature Range: -10 Deg C to + 60 Deg C; Stability: +/- 1% over 24 Months; Response Time 10 seconds Barometric Pressure: Accuracy </= 0.1% of full scale; Operating range: 600 to 1,100hPa; Operating temperature: -20 Deg C to +80 Deg C; Time Constant: less than 10 ms. All sensors, when new, must have a National Institute of Standards and Technology (“NIST”) traceable calibration certificate. The Seller must calibrate the meteorological sensors using transfer standards that are traceable to NIST at an interval not to exceed every six months. The results of these calibrations must be kept in the project file for a minimum of five years and copies provided to the Buyer for review within 30 days of the date of the calibration. Data collection of dry-bulb temperature, relative humidity, and barometric pressure must be consistent with Section 3.8(a) Metering Requirements and Data.
