Diffuse solar irradiance is a measure of the rate of incoming solar energy on a horizontal plane at the Earth's surface resulting from scattering of the Sun's beam due to atmospheric constituents. Diffuse solar irradiance is measured by a pyranometer, with its glass dome shaded from the Sun's beam. The shading is accomplished either by an occulting disc or a shading arm attached to a solar tracker. The angle subtended by the shading disc of the diffuse pyranometer should be the same as the field of view of the pyrheliometer. It is important that the dome of the pyranometer is always fully shaded from the Sun's beam to ensure accuracy of measurement, and should be checked for correct alignment on a regular basis. 4, record 1, English, - pyranometer

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 2 on a plane surface). 5, record 1, English, - pyranometer

Capteurs héliographiques thermiques ou pyranomètres. [...] il s’agit de piéger le maximum de rayonnement afin de le transformer en élévation de température d’une surface noire et mate, comportant un capteur de température intégré. Le solarimètre qui porte alors le nom de pyranomètre est présenté sur la figure suivante. Sur cette figure on remarque une coupole hémisphérique en verre, destinée à piéger la lumière. Dans le plan horizontal, on va avoir la surface noire réceptrice[, dirigée vers le zénith] et le capteur de température (couche mince); l’électronique associée est évidemment intégrée dans la partie inférieure.
