Overview Options Applications Calibration Manual

HydroRad-E2 Two-channel Radiometer System

The HydroRad-E2 measures upwelling and downwelling light simultaneously, through a light collector mounted on each end of its case.  With an irradiance collector on top and a radiance collector on the bottom, it is ideal for measurements of remote-sensing reflectance.  Like all HydroRad models, it is a completely self-contained measurement system.

 Measurement
Configuration
  • Irradiance collector on top surface
  • Radiance collector on bottom
  • Calibrated Wavelength Range: 350 nm to 850 nm
  • Pixel Resolution: 0.30 to 0.35nm
  • Automatic exposure control: spectrometer integration time from 21 ms to 20 seconds, depending on light levels.
  • Instrument is shipped fully calibrated for absolute radiometric measurements.
