Abstract
A net radiometer of moderate accuracy but of simple construction and very low cost is described. The value of net radiation is obtained from the difference of fourth power temperatures of the upper and lower radiating surfaces. Conduction losses are held to a low value by employing a good insulating material and ventilation losses above and below are kept to a low value by two layers of thin polyethylene film. Field tests, calibration data, and applications are described.
