Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Vol. 52 (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Journal of the Asiatic Society of Bengal, Vol. 52
The interesting results of sun thermometer observations, published by Mr. Blanford at page 72, Vol. LI, Part II, of the Journal of the Asiatic Society Of Bengal, suggest the possibility of making use of the instrument to measure the heat received from the sun. Even with all the precautions adopted by Mr. Blanford, the excess of the maximum temperature in the Sun, above the maximum in the shade, is affected by variations in the follow ing and perhaps other conditions, as well as by variations in the heat emit ted from the sun.
I. The thickness of the atmosphere traversed by the sun's rays, which, for moderate degrees of obliquity, may be taken to be proportional to the secant of the sun's zenith distance.
II. The absorptive power of the clear transparent atmosphere, which probably varies with the proportion of water vapour in it.
