The special screen for the
lower CM 21 prevents direct
illumination of the domes by
the sun at sunrise and sunset.
Kipp & Zonen can also supply
this screen for a separate
CM 21 (see chapter 9 for the
part number).
Offset signals generated in the
pyranometer by thermal
effects (see paragraph 1.2.1)
are a factor of 5 more
significant in the
measurement of the reflected
radiation due to the lower
irradiance level. The mast in the
construction of figure 10 intercepts
a fraction

of the radiation coming from the ground.
In the most unfavourable situation (sun at zenith) the pyranometer shadow
decreases the signal by a factor

3.2.6 Underwater use
The CM 21 pyranometer is in principle watertight. However, the
hemispherical water-glass and glass-air boundaries act as a negative lens.
The parallel beam of direct solar radiation becomes strong divergent after
the passage of the outer dome.
Consequently the intensity at the sensor is lower than outside the
pyranometer. The sensitivity figure is not valid in this case but must be
derived empirically.
