For the CGR 4 the effect of each parameter on the sensitivity can be shown separately. The non-linearity
error, the sensitivity variation with irradiance, is the same for any CGR 4 and is shown in Figure 8.

The temperature dependence of the sensitivity is a function of the individual CGR 4. For a given CGR 4 the
response lies in the region between the curved lines in Figure 9. The temperature dependence of each CGR
4 pyrgeometer is characterised and supplied with the instrument. Each CGR 4 has a built-in temperature
sensor to allow corrections to be applied if required.
