NR-LITE2-L Net Radiometer

ClimateMeteorological Station & Sensors

The NR-LITE2, manufactured by Kipp & Zonen and cabled for use with Campbell Scientific data loggers, is a rugged net radiometer that measures the energy balance between incoming short-wave and long-wave infrared radiation relative to surface-reflected short-wave and outgoing long-wave infrared radiation. It is directly connected to a Campbell Scientific data logger and is widely used in agriculture and hydrology applications.
