Kala Patthar Pyranometer

At the Kala Patthar station the the CM6B pyranometer, manufactured by Kipp & Zonen is installed.

This sensor is a first class pyranometer as defined by the World Meteorological Organization. It is suitable for the measurement of solar irradiance on a plane surface (W/m2).

It incorporates a 64-thermocouple sensor, which is rotationally symmetrical, housed under K5 domes. A white screen prevents the body of the pyranometer from heating up. The pyranometer is supplied with a spirit level and screws for accurate levelling.

CM6B technical characteristics:

- Spectral range 305 to 2800 nm (50%points)

- Sensitivity 9 to 15 ?V/Wm-2

- Impedance 70 to 100 Ohm

- Response time 1/e 5 s, 99 % 55 s

- Non-linearity <1.5 % (<1000 W/m 2 )

- Tilt error <1.5 % at 1000 W/m 2

- Operating temperature -40 to +90 °C

- Temperature dependence of sensitivity _2 % (-10 to +40 °C)

- Maximum irradiance 2000 W/m2

- Directional error < _20 W/m2 at 1000 W/m2

- Weight 0.85 kg

- Cable length 10 m
