Collection: Radiation sensors
Radiation occupies an important place among the quantities of interest in meteorology, since, on the one hand, solar radiation is the primary energy source of atmospheric processes, and, on the other hand, the various radiation fluxes account for a significant part of the energy transport in the atmosphere.
These radiation fluxes, with the physical name radiation flux densities, ie the radiant energy passing through the horizontal unit area in unit time, are measured in W/m 2 specified .
In addition, UV radiation has gained interest in recent years.
