Radiometer and Optical Dome
In meteorological observation, solar radiation is an indispensable measurement parameter. The observation of solar radiation includes total radiation, scattered radiation, direct radiation, reflected radiation, ultraviolet radiation etc. Analysis of solar radiation parameters plays a major role in the research of solar energy, meteorology, environmental ocean, agricultural ecology, building materials and other aspects. Instruments for detecting solar radiation usually use a glass dome cover as windshield, which is often made of optical glass with high transmittance. The spectral range of the windshield is 280-3000nm. The optical dome isolates the sensor in the meter from the external environment and protects the sensitivity of the sensor. Besides, the optical dome effectively prevents the sensor from aging due to changes in the environment, improves the anti-interference ability of the radiometer and prolongs the service life of the radiometer. The quartz dome is the most common
