Albedometers FOR THE PRECISE MEASUREMENT OF GLOBAL AND REFLECTED RADIATION Specifications to ISO 9060:1990 and IEC 60904 standards Measure incoming and reflected solar radiation with one convenient instrument Used around the world in meteorology, hydrology and climate research Easily portable for field research Introduction The albedo of a surface is the extent to which it diffusely reflects short-wave radiation from the sun in the wavelength range from 300 to 3000 nanometers (nm). It is the ratio of the reflected radiation to the incoming radiation and varies from 0 (dark) to 1 (bright). As an indication, albedo is about 0.15 for grass, 0.5 for dry sand and 0.8 for fresh snow. An Albedometer consists of two pyranometers. The upper sensor measures incoming global solar radiation and the lower sensor measures solar radiation reflected from the surface below. When the two signal outputs have been converted to irradiance in W/m², the albedo can be simply calculated. Kipp & Zonen has been manufacturing pyranometers for over 75 years and our CMA albedometers share this experience and technology. They comply with the requirements of ISO 9060:1990 and are fully traceable to the World Radiometric Reference (WRR) in Davos, Switzerland, where Kipp & Zonen instruments form part of the World Stand
Open the catalog to page 1Other 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. 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.
