Robitzsch actinograph

Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-008595

A type of bimetallic strip pyranometer used to measure global solar radiation, which is the total solar radiation received on a horizontal surface from both direct and diffuse sources. It consists of three bimetallic strips, one black and two white, which expand and contract differently with temperature changes caused by solar radiation. This instrument provides a continuous record of solar irradiance over time.
