“…The manufacturer's calibration of the Eppley pyrheliometer was used, which is based on the Smithsonian scale of 1913. According to MacDonald and Foster (1954), instruments calibrated to the 1913 scale give results that may be 2.5 percent too high. No corrections were applied to observed values.…”

“…This, in fact, has been done for the Eppley models 2 and 15; the manufacturer believes that the overall correction for cosine response, nonlinearity, and temperature should not exceed ±2% for solar elevations exceeding 10° [7]. 4…”
