Stevenson screen
| Box designed to house weather-measuring instruments such as thermometers. It is kept off the ground by legs, has louvred sides to encourage the free passage of air, and is painted white to reflect heat radiation, since what is measured is the temperature of the air, not of the sunshine. |
