Pyranometer Sensors and Meters

Pyranometer sensors measure the shortwave radiation reaching the Earth's surface, measured in Joules m^-2 s^-1 or Watts m^-2.

Silicon-Cell Pyranometers

The cosine response and accuracy of the Apogee pyranometer have met with the high standards of Campbell Scientific, one of the world’s leaders in environmental measurements.

Campbell Scientific installs Apogee Pyranometers on certain weather stations such as the ET106 and other data collection systems.

Pyranometer Meters

Each meter can store up to 99 manually recorded measurements. In automatic mode, measurements are made every 30 seconds and averages are stored every 30 minutes. Daily totals are also calculated and the past 99 days are recorded. The AC-100 communication cable must be purchased to download data to a PC.
