MS-21 Series Pyrgeometer

SKU: N/A Categories: ,

Research-grade pyrgeometer family for high-accuracy longwave atmospheric and net radiation measurement, combining WISG-traceable calibration, low window-heating error and excellent temperature stability for climate, meteorological and scientific monitoring.

Typical Applications

  • Climate research
  • Meteorological monitoring
  • Atmospheric radiation measurement
  • Longwave downwelling radiation monitoring
  • Surface energy-balance studies
  • Climate-change monitoring
  • BSRN-type radiation networks
  • Reference meteorological stations
  • Scientific atmospheric research
  • Long-term environmental monitoring

The MS-21 Series Pyrgeometer is a research-grade longwave infrared radiation measurement system designed for climate research, meteorological networks and atmospheric energy-balance studies. Covering a broad 4.5–42 μm spectral range, the series measures both longwave downwelling radiation and longwave net radiation with excellent temperature stability, ultra-low window-heating error and WISG-traceable calibration. The family includes the smart digital MS-21SH Pyrgeometer, featuring integrated dome heating and internal diagnostics, and the precision analogue MS-21 Pyrgeometer, providing a proven low-noise measurement platform for professional data-acquisition systems.

Key Features

  • Research-grade longwave radiation measurement
  • 4.5–42 μm spectral response
  • Longwave downwelling radiation measurement
  • Longwave net radiation measurement
  • -250 to +250 W/m² net radiation range
  • Less than 18 second 95% response
  • Less than 4 W/m² window-heating offset
  • Less than 1 W/m² zero offset B
  • Less than 1% temperature response
  • 180° field of view
  • PT100 detector temperature sensing
  • WISG-traceable calibration
  • -40°C to +80°C operating temperature
  • Smart digital and precision analogue options
  • 5-year warranty

The MS-21 Series can measure longwave radiation during daylight without requiring a sun tracker, shading disk or shadow ring because its specially coated silicon dome suppresses unwanted shortwave solar radiation below the longwave measurement band.
