Pyrgeometers (MS-21)
A New Standard in Longwave Radiation Measurement
The MS-21 Pyrgeometer is a research-grade instrument designed for highly accurate measurement of atmospheric longwave radiation. Featuring an advanced thermal coupling design, it minimizes window heating effects and temperature dependency, delivering exceptional stability and precision across a 4.5–42 μm spectral range. With WISG-traceable calibration, rugged construction, and a 5-year warranty, the MS-21 is ideal for long-term meteorological, climatological, and scientific research applications.
