Nota Adicional1
Instrument shelters are usually painted white, have louvered sides, usually a double roof, and are mounted on a stand a meter or so above the ground with the door side facing poleward. Instrument shelters are meant to house thermometric instruments, such as psychrometers, maximum and minimum thermometers, hygrothermographs, etc.
Contexto
The roofs of buildings have been used often as the site for meteorological observations. This may often have been based on the mistaken belief that at this elevation the instrument shelter is freed from the complications of the UCL.
