Primary spectrometric thermometry for gases

Project: EU project

Project Details

Description

Improving the accuracy and ensuring traceability of spectroscopic gas temperature measurement

Accurate air temperature measurements are critical for climate change monitoring and the related evidence-based policymaking. Spectrometric thermometry probes gas thermodynamic temperature, overcoming several practical challenges posed by contact thermometry.

Project will provide scientific and metrological basis needed to define spectroscopic thermometry as a primary method for temperature measurement in gas/air.

VTT MIKES develops its oxygen spectroscopy-based air thermometer into accurate and traceable technique for ambient air thermometry and builds an optical arrangement and gas medium delivery system that allows validation of the thermometer in controlled conditions.
