1. GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 INTRODUCTION

The CM 21 pyranometer is designed for measuring the irradiance (radiant-

flux, Watt/m2) on a plane surface, which results from the direct solar

radiation and from the diffuse radiation incident from the hemisphere above.

CM 21 is a high precision pyranometer with strictly selected domes. Because

of the high optical quality of these domes the directional error is reduced to

less than 10 W/m2.

The special features of the CM 21 are:

•High sensitivity, which could result in lower specifications for the

data acquisition system.

•Low impedance, which reduces sensitivity for interference and

noise.

•Low temperature response, which is an advantage when working

under extreme climatological conditions.

•Low non-linearity.

Like the CM 11 pyranometer, the CM 21 complies with the specifications for

the best of three classes, “High quality”, as defined in the 'Guide to

meteorological Instruments and Methods of Observation', sixth edition, 1996,

of the World Meteorological

GENERAL INFORMATION

Organisation (*WMO) - Geneva - Switzerland. Some specifications of the

CM 21 are twice as good as required.

For measuring the diffuse component of solar radiation only, the direct solar

component can be shielded semi-automatically from the pyranometer by the

Kipp & Zonen shadow ring CM 121. Fully automatic shielding can be done

with the 2AP tracker with shading device.

* The WMO classification is adapted from the international standard ISO 9060 (1990).

Herein “high quality“ class is referred to as “secondary standard”.

1.2 PHYSICAL PRINCIPLES OF THE PYRANOMETER

The pyranometer CM 21 is provided with a thermal detector. This type of

detector responds to the total power absorbed and theoretically it is non-

selective as to the spectral distribution of the radiation. This implies that the

naked thermal detector is also sensitive to long wave infrared radiation

(thermal radiation λ> 3000 nm) from the environment. (e.g. the inner dome)

The radiant energy is absorbed by a black painted disk. The heat generated

flows through a thermal resistance to the heatsink (the pyranometer body).

The temperature difference across the thermal resistance of the detector is

converted into a voltage.

The rise of temperature is easily affected by wind, rain and thermal radiation

losses to the environment ('cold' sky). Therefore the detector is shielded by

two glass domes. These domes allow equal transmittance of the direct solar

component for every position of the sun on the celestial sphere. A dessicator

in the body prevents dew on the inner side of the domes, which can cool

down considerably on clear windless nights.

When the pyranometer is illuminated a temperature difference arise between

the centre and the border of the black absorber. Natural convection inside

the inner dome due to this temperature difference is small and therefore

tilting the CM 21 causes no significant change of sensitivity.

1.2.1 Zero offsets

Zero offset type B

Heat flows in the sensing element e.g. due to rising or falling body

temperature normally cause a spurious voltage., called zero offset. To

compensate for this offset, a second non-illuminated element is installed, in

which the same heat flow will arise. By anti-series arrangement of both

elements the spurious voltage is cancelled out greatly. The white plastic

screen reduces the body temperature variations due to solar radiation and

(cold) rain showers.

Zero offset type A

This zero offset is present when there is a temperature difference between

the inner dome and the cold junctions of the sensor.

In practice a zero offset will be present when there is a clear sky. Because of

the low effective sky temperature (<0ºC) the earth surface emits roughly 100

W/m2longwave infrared radiation upwards. The outer glass dome of a

pyranometer also has this emission and is cooling down several degrees

below air temperature (the emissivity of glass for the particular wavelength

GENERAL INFORMATION

region is nearly 1). The emitted heat is extracted from the body (by

conduction in the dome), from the air (by wind) and from the inner dome

(through infrared radiation). The inner dome is cooling down too and will

extract heat from the body by conduction and from the sensor by the net

infrared radiation again. The latter heat flow is opposite to the heat flow from

absorbed solar radiation and causes the well known zero depression at

night. This negative zero offset is also present on a clear day, however,

hidden in the solar radiation signal. Because the temperature difference

between the body and the (clear) sky is higher during day time, the zero-

offset will also be higher.

During indoor measurements with a solar simulator, the inner dome can

become warmer than the pyranometer body due to net thermal radiation

from the lamp housing. A positive zero offset type A is the result.

Zero offset type A can be checked by placing a light and IR reflecting cap

over the pyranometer. The response to solar radiation will decay

with a time constant (1/e) of 5 s, but the dome temperature will go to

equilibrium with a time constant of several minutes. So after half a

minute the remaining signal represents mainly zero offset type A.

Good ventilation of domes and body is the solution to reducing zero offsets

even further. Kipp & Zonen advises the CV 2 for optimal ventilation and

suppression of zero offset type A.

1.2.3 Directional error

The directional error is an individual feature and depends on imperfections of

the glass domes, angular reflection properties of the black paint and

tolerances on the pyranometer construction. The directional error is a

combination of the error in zenith and azimuth directions.

This Kipp & Zonen CM 21 pyranometer is manufactured with great care.

Each pyranometer is constructed with selected glass domes. The glass

domes are matched and positioned with high precision.
