Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008450

An instrument designed to continuously measure and record the albedo of a surface, which is the ratio of reflected solar radiation to incident solar radiation. It typically consists of two pyranometers, one facing upward and one facing downward, connected to a data logger. This device is used in climate studies to monitor surface energy balance.
