McGuire, J.H. and Wraight, H.G., 1959. A RADIOMETER FOR FIELD USE. Fire Research Notes 394


ABSTRACT

A shielded, gold disc radiometer, specially designed for field use, is described. It measures thermal radiation in the range 0.01 to 1.2 cal-1 cm-2s-1. The calibration is not greatly affected by ambient temperature or by prolonged exposure and the error introduced by winds of up to 25 mile/h is less than 8 per cent.
