SN-500-SS: Net Radiometer:

Apogee Instruments’ new four-component net radiometer provides individual measurements of net radiation components. The sensor features an SDI-12 output, eliminating the need for multiple analog channels to measure the individual components of net radiation. The net radiometer comes in a complete package that includes the net radiometer, mounting rod, pigtail lead cable for the datalogger interface, and carrying case.

Onboard A/D Conversion and SDI-12 Output
Apogee Net radiometers feature onboard A/D conversion and SDI-12 output to eliminate the requirement for multiple analog datalogger channels.

Four-component Net Radiometer
An upward-looking and downward-looking pyranometer and an upward-looking and downward-looking pyrgeometer provide separate measurements of the four components of net radiation.

Individually Heated Radiometers
Each radiometer includes an individual heater to increase accuracy by minimizing the influence of dew or frost on the filter.

Compact and Light Weight
Designed to be lightweight and compact in order to facilitate easy installation.

Key Points:

  • Net radiation is a key variable in the surface energy balance and influences turbulent fluxes, including evapotranspiration.
  • It includes measurements on flux towers and weather stations.
  • An onboard 24-bit analog-to-digital converter makes measurements and provides a digital SDI-12 output.
  • This eliminates the need for multiple analog datalogger channels to measure each of the four components of net radiation.
  • Measure all four components of net radiation with a digital output that saves datalogger channels.
  • Comparable accuracy to industry leading competition in long-term field testing.
  • The small lightweight design enables easy mounting to a cross arm using the AM-500 mounting bracket that facilitates precision leveling.
  • Each sensor includes a 0.2 W heater to minimize errors from dew, frost, rain, and snow that can block the radiation path.
