Category: Net Radiometer

NR01 measures the 4 separate components of the surface radiation balance: downward and upward solar and longwave radiation. The solar radiation sensors are called pyranometers and the longwave sensors are called pyrgeometers. From these 4 separate components the net radiation is derived. For calculation of sky- and surface temperatures, it is necessary to compensate for irradiated heat by the pyrgeometers themselves (Stefan-Boltzmann law). A Pt100 temperature sensor is included in NR01’s body for that purpose. Sunshine duration may be estimated according to the WMO approved pyranometric method.

NR01 is a market leading 4-component net radiometer, mostly used in scientific-grade energy balance and surface flux studies. It offers 4 separate measurements of global and reflected solar and downwelling and upwelling longwave radiation, using 2 sensors facing up and 2 facing down. NR01 owes its popularity to its excellent price / performance ratio and major improvements relative to comparable instruments. Advantages include its modular design with 2 pairs of identical sensors, low weight, ease of levelling, and low solar offsets in the longwave measurement. The unique capability to heat the pyrgeometers reduces measurement errors caused by dew deposition.
