4.3 Calculation of the Net Solar Radiation

The net radiation, E

NET

, is calculated using the sensor measurement results for

net short-wave radiation and net long-wave radiation. The net radiation is the
difference between the net short-wave and net long-wave radiation.

5. Wiring

The two radiation outputs from CNR2 Net Radiometer can be measured using
differential or single-ended inputs on the datalogger. A differential voltage
measurement (VoltSE instruction in CRBasic or Instruction 2 in Edlog) is
recommended because it has better noise rejection than a single-ended
measurement.
