Radiation effects cause thermometer variations in Alberta study
A Beaverlodge Alberta test shows two thermometers 4 feet high, one in a Stevenson screen and one on an insulated wall, differed by two or more degrees on 45 percent of nights. Dr. Carter attributes this to radiation, noting exposed thermometers read colder at night and warmer near heat sources. He suggests precautions for outdoor readings and advises against facing toward sky or a warm room. Times, Kamsack Sask. January 17, 1957.
