A pyranometer is a type of actinometer used to measure broadband solar irradiance on a planar surface and is a sensor that is designed to measure the solar radiation flux density (W/m2) from a field of view of 180 degrees. The name pyranometer stems from Greek, `pyr - πῦρ` meaning `fire` and `ano - ἄνω` meaning `above, sky`. A typi...
