ALBEDOMETERS

Measure incoming and reflected solar radiation to determine albedo.

WHAT IT IS

Dual-sensor radiometers used to compare downwelling and upwelling solar irradiance.

WHAT IT DOES

Measures radiation from above and radiation reflected by the surface below so surface reflectance can be evaluated.

WHAT IT MEASURES

Incoming solar irradiance, reflected solar irradiance and derived albedo.

WHERE IT IS USED

Meteorology, climate research, agriculture, snow and ice studies, solar projects and surface-energy-balance measurements.
