Ja. Brotzge et Ce. Duchon, A field comparison among a domeless net radiometer, two four-component netradiometers, and a domed net radiometer, J ATMOSP OC, 17(12), 2000, pp. 1569-1582
The Kipp & Zonen NR-Lite is a newly designed domeless net radiometer. In pr
eparation for the Oklahoma Atmospheric Surface-layer Instrumentation System
(OASIS) Project, the NR-Lite was rigorously field tested for over eight mo
nths during 1998. Seven NR-Lites were compared to an Eppley four-component
PSP/PIR net radiometer system, a Kipp & Zonen four-component CNR1, and a RE
BS Q*7.1. Measurement problems associated with calibration, precipitation,
cosine response, and wind-induced error were examined. Results conclude tha
t the NR-Lite is well-suited for experiments where remote, long-term measur
ements of net radiation are required.
