RA01 radiometer measures 2 separate components of the surface radiation balance: solar and longwave radiation. The solar radiation sensor is called pyranometer and the longwave sensor is called pyrgeometer. For calculation of sky temperature, a Pt100 temperature sensor is included in the pyrgeometer. To prevent deposition of dew, the pyrgeometer has internal heating. A 2-axis levelling assembly is included.
Using RA01 radiometer is easy. It can be connected directly to commonly used data logging systems. The irradiance levels in W/m² are calculated by dividing the RA01 outputs, small voltages, by the sensitivities. The longwave irradiance should be corrected using the instrument body temperature. The sensitivities of all sensors are provided with RA01 on its product certificate. RA01 radiometers are often used in scientific-grade energy balance and surface flux studies.
