EPLAB ANGSTROM
The electrical compensation pyrheliometer introduced by K Angstrom is one of the
best-known instruments for measuring the
intensity of the sun's radiation It is one of
the most reliable of pyrheliometers and, if
carefully handled, retains the calibration
value o over periods of years One of the principal uses
the Angstrom pyrheliometer is as a primary working
standard for the calibration of secondary pyrheliometers
and pyranometers
This new Eppley model is a special development
intro-duced in collaboration with Dr Anders Angstrom The
principal improvements over the earlier European mod- els are as follows:
(a) Tube length is increased to a maximum commensu- rate with obtaining the smallest practical aperture
angles (effective aperture 5.0°) and minimizing the
effect of air currents within the system;
(b) Element is of permanent soldered construction and leads to readout instrumentation are continuous;
(c) Conical shield behind the manganin strip receivers minimizes reflection and emission effects;
(d) Strips and shield are coated with Parsons' optical black lacquer;
For the Accurate Measurement
of Direct Solar Radiation
PYRHELIOMETER
(e) Built-in, heavy-duty microswitch facili- tates instrument operation
If employed with the associated Eppley control unit, repeatability of ±0.1 per cent, with steady sky conditions,
is readily obtained in the pyrheliometer indications This control unit comprises a 4-range precision milliammeter with a fixed 4-point current checking potentiometer (accu-racy about 0.01 per cent), an electronic null detector and associated circuitry to permit near simultaneous opera- tion of two pyrheliometers
These instruments are calibrated by comparison directly against the Eppley group of primary pyrheliometric stand-ards The latter are periodically compared, on an interna-tional basis, to ensure the most accurate reproduction and maintenance of the International Pyrheliometric Scale Individual pyrheliometer calibration (absolute accuracy
is better than ±0.5 per cent.) Descriptive leaflet on request Address dept AMSB

METEOROLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS
OF THE UPPER ATMOSPHERE
Proceedings of the American
Meteoro-logical Investigations Above 70 Kilometers,
Miami Beach, 1967
• International in scope, the monograph presents reviews and stimulating ap-praisals of the current state of knowl-edge of the upper atmosphere, with em-phasis on the complex region of the upper mesosphere and lower thermo-sphere The Symposium was conceived
by the AMS Committee on Atmospheric Problems of Aerospace Vehicles, in re-sponse to the need for improved knowl-edge of the environment traversed by reentry and other vehicles
Edited by R S Quiroz, Environmental Science Services Administration
• Contains 24 major papers in logical se-quence, treating both theoretical and observational aspects of upper atmo-sphere research, supplemented by de-tailed summaries of six panel discus-sions concerned with special problem areas
