Pyrgéomètre. Mesures effectuées : Mesure de l'éclairement énergétique infrarouge dû au rayonnement tellurique d'origine atmosphérique ou à celui émis et réfléchi par le sol : flux énergétique reçu par unité de surface horizontale à partir d'un angle solide de 2Pi sr en provenance de l'atmosphère ou du sol. Principe : L'élément sensible du pyrgéomètre est une thermopile exposée au rayonnement infrarouge. La coupelle-filtre du capteur est transparente à ce rayonnement mais opaque aux rayonnements d'origine solaire. La thermopile délivre une différence de potentiel proportionnelle à la différence entre le flux du rayonnement à mesurer et celui émis par la surface sensible de la thermopile. La compensation d'émission de la surface sensible peut être obtenue par calcul. 3, record 3, French, - pyrg%C3%A9om%C3%A8tre
