The Global Radiation Sensor (Pyranometer) is part of the Special Meteorological Instrumentation.

Summary

A pyranometer is used for measuring solar irradiance on a planar surface and it is designed to measure the solar radiation flux density (W/m2) from the hemisphere above within a wavelength range 0.3 μm to 3 μm
