An instrument for detecting and measuring electromagnetic radiation. Satellite radiometers detect the radiation (both visible and infra red) reflected from the Earth below. As Meteosat spins (at 100 rpm), its radiometer telescope scans the surface of the earth and clouds, building up an electronic picture of the surface. See also AVHRR.
