LP NET 07 measures the net radiation across a surface, from near ultraviolet to
far infrared. The Net radiation is defined as the difference between the radiation
that reaches the upper surface and the irradiation on the lower surface of the net
radiometer. The surface of the upper receiver measures the direct solar radiation
plus the diffuse one and the radiation at longer wavelengths emitted from
the sky (clouds), while the lower receiving area measures the solar radiation
reflected from the ground (albedo) and the radiation length wavelengths emitted
from the earth.
The instrument is designed and constructed to be used outdoors in any weather
conditions.
