How does one measure the length of the day and intensity of sunlight at the same time? A Scottish author and Celtic folklore expert called John Campbell in 1853 wanted to find out in a quest to record ‘the nature and power of sunshine’ (as he put it a quarter century later), and his desire turned into a meteorological instrument that is so simple that it remains of use. Further refined by physicist Gabriel Stokes in 1879 they are now known as Campbell Stokes sunshine recorders and proved a mainstay of meteorology for decades.
