KIPP & ZONEN CMA6 ALBEDOMETER
The CMA albedometers are double pyranometers that measure both global and reflected solar irradiance in one instrument. CMA albedometers are suitable for measuring global radiation and/or albedo over many different types of surface. The upper pyranometer measures incoming global solar radiation and the lower sensor measures solar radiation reflected from the surface below. CMA6 is constructed from two CMP6 pyranometer sensors.
