Equipment used for field measurement.

Variable	Instrument	Accuracy
Air temperature/relative humidity	HOBO U12-012 Temp/RH Data Logger	±0.35°C from 0°C–50°C to a maximum of ±3.5%
Globe temperature	HOBO Thermocouple Data Logger, U12-014 with Type-T Copper-Constantan thermocouple sensors and 40 mm diameter ping pong ball	±1.5°C
Wind speed	Onset Wind Speed Smart Sensor, S-WSA-M003	±1.1 m/s or ±4% of reading, whichever is greater
Short- and long-wave radiation	Kipp & Zonen, CNR 4 with integrated pyranometer, pyrgeometer, Pt-100, and thermistor	Pyranometer: <5% uncertainty (95% confidence level); Pyrgeometer: <10% uncertainty (95% confidence level); Pt-100/thermistor: ±0.7°C
