The Pyranometer Sensor is
calibrated to measure the
shortwave radiation reaching
the Earth's
surface, measured in Joules m-2 s-1 or Watts m-2.

CONVERSION FACTORS
The sensor uses a silicon cell to yield a millivolt output. This output is multiplied by a conversion
factor to yield W m-2.
Amplified sensors use smaller conversion factors to match
their increased mV outputs. For 5 V models, the conversions
factor is 0.25; for 2.5 V models the conversion factor is
0.5.
