Sky radiation: indirect solar radiation that passes through cloud and diffuses on the Earth’s surface.

See measure of sky radiation in : french | spanish

Instrument designed to measure overall or indirect solar radiation.

It shields the pyranometer from direct sunlight, allowing only indirect sunlight to be measured.
