NR01 is a market leading 4-component net radiometer, mostly used in scientific-grade energy balance and surface flux studies. It offers 4 separate measurements of global and reflected solar and downwelling and upwelling longwave radiation, using 2 sensors facing up and 2 facing down.
NR01 owes its popularity to its excellent price / performance ratio and major improvements relative to comparable instruments. Advantages include its modular design with 2 pairs of identical sensors, low weight, ease of leveling, and low solar offsets in the longwave measurement. The unique capability to heat the pyrgeometers reduces measurement errors caused by dew deposition.
- Lowest price level at top level performance
- Heated pyrgeometers, best night-time data availability
- High-accuracy shortwave calibration
- Low weight, low mounting costs
- Modular design, 2 pairs of identical sensors
- Practical leveling, servicing and recalibration
