[f. solari- + -meter.]
A device for measuring the total intensity of radiation incident upon a surface.
1926L. Gorczyn̄ski in Monthly Weather Rev. LIV. 381/2 To these direct-reading instruments, designed for both solar and sky radiation, we propose to give the name of ‘Solarimeters’ in order to distinguish them from pyrheliometers, which serve generally for radiation intensity of the sun at normal incidence. 1940Sci. Abstr. XLIII. 383 The radiative properties of the snow cover were investigated... Two solarimeters were employed. 1969McIntosh & Thom Essent. Meteorol. vii. 105 A solarimeter..detects both direct and diffuse solar radiation. Ibid., An inverted solarimeter detects the short-wave radiation reflected by the surface. |
