Precision insolation measurement under field conditionsThe paper describes a precision insolation instrument - the Mark 3 Kendall Radiometer - developed for field survey work and for use as a calibration transfer standard. The instrument, which can be used to make accurate measurements of solar irradiance, has a windowless black cavity receptor mounted in a massive heat sink and has equal sensitivity to ultraviolet, infrared, and visible radiation. Attention is given to a calibration stability analysis over two years of operation.
