Abstract
IN a recent communication1, Mr. J. L. Gergen gives a brief account of his ‘black ball’ radiometer, and in comparing measurements of atmospheric radiation so made with those described by us2 states that they “are not in agreement”. A fuller account of our work has now appeared3 with more information than was available to him at the time of writing.
