pyranometer
(Sometimes called solarimeter.) General name for the class of actinometers that measure the combined intensity of incoming direct solar radiation and diffuse sky radiation.
The pyranometer consists of a recorder and a radiation sensing element that is mounted so that it views the entire sky (radiation from the solid angle 2π on a plane surface).
