Definition

  • The Thermopile Net Radiometer is an instrument used to measure, hemispherically, net all-wave radiation from incoming and outgoing radiation. The receiving surface of a net radiometer is a blackened plate across which there is a thermopile with one set of junctions in contact with the upper face and the other set attached to the lower face. With the plate aligned parallel to the surface the thermopile output is related to the temperature difference across the plate.
