CNR4 Net Radiometer

In Equatio

, E is calculated according to the Equatio

8-1

Albedo will always be smaller than 1. Checking this can be used as a tool for 

quality assurance of your data. If you know the approximate albedo at your 

site, the calculation of albedo can also serve as a tool for quality control of your 

measured data at a specific site. 

8.5  Calculation of Net Short-wave Radiation 

The net short-wave solar radiation is equal to the incoming (downwelling) 

short-wave radiation minus the reflected (upwelling) short-wave radiation. 

Net Short-wave Radiation = (E upper Pyranometer) 

– (E lower Pyranometer)

(8-4) 

In Equatio

8-4

E is calculated according to Equation 

8-1

. 

Net short-wave solar radiation will always be positive. This can be used as a 

tool for quality assurance of your measured data. 

8.6  Calculation of Net Long-wave Radiation 

The net long-wave far infrared radiation is the part that contributes to heating 

or cooling of the earth’s surface. In practice, usually the net long-wave far 

infrared radiation will be negative. 

Net Long-wave Radiation = (E upper Pyrgeometer) 

– (E lower Pyrgeometer)

(8-5) 

In Equatio

8-5

E is calculated according to Equation 

8-2

According to 

Equatio

8-5

, the terms that contain the sensor body temperature, T, cancel 

each other. Therefore, if only interested in the net long-wave radiation, instead 

of separate upper and lower components of the long-wave radiation, the CNR4 

temperature measurement is not required. 

The E measured with the pyrgeometer actually represents the irradiance of the 

sky (for upward-facing pyrgeometer) or the ground (for downward-facing 

pyrgeometer). Assuming that these two, ground and sky, behave like perfect 

blackbodies, theoretically, one can calculate an effective sky temperature and 

an effective ground temperature.

As a rule of thumb, for ambient temperatures of about 20 degrees Celsius, one 

can say that one degree of temperature difference between two objects results 

in a 5 W/m

2

 exchange of radiative energy (infinite objects): 

1 degree of temperature difference = 5 W/m
