  "term": "Balance meter",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An instrument designed to measure the net difference between incoming and outgoing energy fluxes at a surface. It integrates separate sensors for shortwave (solar) and longwave (terrestrial) radiation to determine the net radiation balance, a key component of the surface energy budget. Measurements are expressed in watts per square meter (W/m²).",
