Instrument Details of Early Pyrheliometer Use
The article explains a pyrheliometer consisting of a long hollow tube with a water-filled apical column. Sun rays heat the black back wall and absorbed heat transfers to the water, raising its temperature which a platinum thermometer records. Water is replaced and an electric current used to stabilize the wall temperature.
