Abstract
A sensor assembly includes a sensor having a lens defining an axis. An air nozzle is aimed to direct air across the lens and defines a direction of airflow along a longitudinal axis of the air nozzle. The longitudinal axis is transverse to the axis. A plurality of baffles are disposed in the air nozzle and spaced from each other. The baffles extend partially across the air nozzle relative to the axis.
