The Burns station has a two axis tracker. On the tracker is a pyrheliometer for direct normal measurements, a pyranometer under a shade ball for diffuse horizontal measurements, and a pyrgeometer for infrared measurements. An additional horizontal unshaded pyranometer (Not pictured) is used to measure the global horizontal irradiance.
