  "term": "Pyrradiometer",
  "field": "Meteorology and atmospheric science",
  "definition": "An instrument that measures the total hemispherical radiation, encompassing both shortwave (solar) and longwave (terrestrial) radiation from all directions. It typically uses a thermopile sensor with a transparent dome that allows both types of radiation to pass through. This device is used in micrometeorology to assess the net radiation balance at a surface.",
