Four-component measurement of net radiation with black-body pyranometers and pyrgeometers.

An on-board 24-bit A to D converter makes measurements and provides a digital SDI-12 output, eliminating the need for multiple analog datalogger channels to measure each of the four components of net radiation. Provides separate measurements of each of the components of net radiation, resulting in impressive accuracy.

Each of the four sensors includes a 0.2 W heater that keeps water (liquid and frozen) off the sensors and minimizes errors caused when dew, frost, rain, or snow block the radiation path.

Comparable in accuracy to other four-component net radiometers, but lower cost.

The small lightweight design facilitates easy mounting to a cross arm using the AM-500 mounting bracket. The bracket facilitates precision leveling.

Net radiation is a key variable in the surface energy balance and influences turbulent fluxes, including evapotranspiration. Applications include measurements on flux towers and weather stations.
