A TYPE OF INSTRUMENT USED AT AT LEAST 1 CANADIAN OBSERVING STATION.
Function
INSTRUMENT THAT MEASURES THE RADIANT HEAT OF THE SUN, USING A BLACK PAINTED THERMOMETER, PROTECTED FROM THE WIND BY A GLASS JACKET.
Technical
IN 1864 NEGRETTI & ZAMBRA CLAIMED TO HAVE INVENTED A BLACK BULB SOLAR RADIATION THERMOMETER WITH AN EVACUATED GLASS JACKET. IN 1938 N & Z WERE STILL SELLING A DIFFERENT VERSION, WITH THE BULB & 1 INCH OF THE STRAIGHT STEM BLACKENED; THIS EXAMPLE IS OF THIS TYPE. PROBLEMS WITH MAINTAINING THE VACUUM & STANDARDIZATION OF THIS TYPE OF THERMOMETER LED TO ITS GRADUAL ABANDONMENT.
