Abstract
Eppley Laboratory Inc. model PIR pyrgeometers and model PSP pyranometers have built in temperature compensation circuitry designed to limit relative errors in the measurement of radiation to + /- 2% for a temperature range of -20 C to +40 C. A procedure developed to verify this specification and to determine the relative sensitivity to temperatures below -20 C is described. Results of this calibration and application to data correction are also presented.
