Description

This dataset provides mobile comparison data from Tharandt and Dresden, Germany, which was used to demontrate the suitability of a new low-cost and user-friendly meteorological device for the purpose of thermal comfort mapping. The new device was compared to an established high-end backpack-mounted device from the Dresden University of Technology (TUD) Chair of Meteorology, Germany. The main sensors for comparison were: the low-cost SHT 85 Sensirion sensor vs. the high-cost WXT520 for air temperature and relative humdity and the low-cost SR2AD pyranometer vs. the high-cost SKS 1110 pyranometer. The ability of each device to predict the Universal Thermal Climate Index (UTCI), calculated using the software RayMan Pro, was also compared.
