Deux pyranomètres, l'un mesurant le rayonnement incident et l'autre le rayonnement réfléchi par la surface de la serre constituent un albédomètre. L'Organisation Météorologique Mondiale recommande une hauteur comprise entre un mètre et deux mètres pour la mesure du rayonnement réfléchi : le capteur doit donc être déplacé en fonction de la croissance d'une culture ou de chutes de neige sur le sol. 2, record 1, French, - alb%C3%A9dom%C3%A8tre
