Description
Maximum accuracy
The albedometer accurately measures the relation between the global solar radiation incident on the Earth’s surface and the one reflected from the ground. It is specially designed to meet the ISO 9060 standard and the guidelines established by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
Weatherproof design
The instrument is entirely made of corrosion resistant materials to ensure high resistance to weathering.
Maximum connectivity
It can be connected to any conventional datalogger to perform the data storage and its subsequent downloading and monitoring on a computer. It features two analog outputs, one corresponding to the top pyranometer and the other one to the bottom pyranometer.
Multitude of applications
Its outstanding versatility makes it ideal for all kind of applications in many fields, the main ones being:
- Atmospheric research.
- Meteorology.
- Solar power plants.
