The self-calibrating sensor of the Eclectic Satellite Pyrheliometer /ESP/ programA self-calibrating thermopile sensor having a cavity type receiver is described. Its incorporation into pyrheliometric instrumentation, including the electronics and control, is also discussed. Completed devices are capable of solar irradiance measurements with an accuracy to within 0.5% and can detect solar variability to a level approaching 0.001% in space.
