Kipp & Zonen Data Sheet Albedometers - Kipp & Zonen - #2

Text version of the page

Applications Other Configurations Kipp & Zonen albedometers have been developed for use in all environments, from the Antarctic to deserts. They are installed around the world for meteorology, hydrology, climate research, and agriculture. A particular use is for measuring the changing albedo of glaciers, snow and ice fields in climate change research. An entry level albedometer can be configured by using two CMP 3 pyranometers and the accessory mounting rod. Highest performance albedometers can be assembled using two CMP 21 or CMP 22 pyranometers and a CMF 1 mounting fixture. Ventilated setups are also possible. Kipp & Zonen CMA albedometers are convenient all-in-one instruments designed for a long operating life with simple maintenance and the light weight is ideal for portable applications. Spécifications CMA6 CMA11 ISO CLASSIFICATION Response time (95%) linearity (0 to 1000 W/m*) <1% <0.2% (at 1000 W/m*) <1% <0.2% Temperature dependence of sensitivity <4% (-10 to +40°C) <1% (-10 to +40°C) The most appropriate model for an application depends on the desired accuracy and performance. CMA albedometers have broadband thermopile detectors and double glass domes, an integrated bubble level and a white sun shield to prevent the body heating up. The waterproof connector has gold-plated contacts and is fitted with 10m of high quality signal cable as standard. The instruments do not require power and are supplied with calibration certificates traceable to the WRR. Sensitivity 5 to 20 [iV/W/m* 7 to 14 [iV/W/m* Impedance 20 to 200 n 10 to 100 n Operating temperature -40 to +80°C -40 to +80°C Spectral range (50% points) 310 to 2800 310 to 2800 Maximum irradiance 2000 W/m* <10 W/m* Directional error (at 80° with 1000 W/m*) <20 W/m* Weight (including rod & cable) kg kg 1.2 1.2 CMA 6 is an ISO First Class albedometer that uses two CMP 6 pyranometer detector assemblies built into a single housing. An integrated glare screen prevents direct illumination of the lower domes at sunrise and sunset, and a screw-in drying cartridge keeps the interior free from humidity. A mounting rod is fitted to provide easy attachment to a mast. (911 Cri mm 050 mm (2x) in CMA 11 is a double CMP 11 pyranometer that complies with the highest level of ISO classification, Secondary Standard. It has all the features of the CMA 6 but uses higher quality glass domes and a faster response detector design with temperature compensation.
