The radiation shield is a passively ventilated enclosure that protects temperature, humidity, and pressure sensors from environmental interference while maintaining airflow for accurate measurements. Its multi-plate design minimizes exposure to direct sunlight, precipitation, and debris, while allowing ambient air circulation. The shield reduces radiative heating and thermal inertia, ensuring sensors measure true ambient air conditions rather than artificial microclimates.
