Attention:

For data storage, the downward long wave radiation sensor (Pyranometer) is considered as part of the Special Meteorological Instrumentation.

Summary

A pyrgeometer is a device that measures near-surface infra-red radiation spectrum in the wavelength spectrum approximately from 4.5 µm to 100 µm.
