Silicon-cell Photodiode Pyranometers


Pyranometer sensors measure

the shortwave radiation reaching

the Earth's surface, measured in Joules m-2 s-1 or Watts m-2.

CONVERSION FACTORS

The sensor uses a silicon cell to yield a millivolt output. This output is multiplied by a conversion factor to yield W m-2.

Amplified sensors use smaller conversion factors to match their increased mV outputs. For 5 V models, the conversions factor is 0.25; for 2.5 V models the conversion factor is 0.5.
