TSBR
Total Solar Broadband Radiometer

The Total Solar Broadband Radiometer (TSBR) is a ground-based or airborne radiometer operated by the Department of Energy (DoE) Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) User Facility. It measures total solar irradiance across wavelengths from 0.224 to 3.91 μm. TSBR uses electrically calibrated pyroelectric detectors and has a hemispherical field of view. It usually operates as part of the Radiation Measurement System (RAMS) instrument package alongside the Fractional Solar Broadband Radiometer (FSBR).
