Zusammenfassung:The invention pertains to a portable apparatus (100) for sensing environmental parameters, the apparatus (100) comprising: a device (110) for sensing thermal radiation; an air temperature sensor (120); a humidity sensor (130); an incident light sensor (140); a processor (150), operatively connected to said device (110) for sensing thermal radiation, said air temperature sensor (120), said humidity sensor (130), and said incident light sensor (140); and a non-volatile memory (160), operatively connected to said processor (150). The processor (150) is configured to: obtain substantially synchronous measurement values from said device (110) for sensing thermal radiation, said air temperature sensor (120), said humidity sensor (130), and said incident light sensor (140); and store said substantially synchronous measurement values and/or a physical quantity computed from said substantially synchronous measurement values, in said non-volatile memory (160). The invention also pertains to a method (200) of assessing environmental parameters over an extended geographic area.
