Ambient Equilibration
Cabin temperature: 25C
Sensor type: RS41
Ambient pressure: 695mb
Ambient temperature: 11C
Ambient RH: 84%
Temperature equilibration accuracy: 0.1C
RH equilibration accuracy: 5.0%
Temperature equilibration at time: 3.5s, RS41 T sensor time constants: 4.9
RH equilibration at time: -5.1s, RS41 RH sensor time constants: -0.2
Pressure: same equilibration time used as for temperature
Winds: no ambient equilibration performed because there is no wind data
