Actinometry
Definition
A branch of meteorology and applied physics dealing with the structural and methodical study of measuring radiant energy intensity (specifically solar, atmospheric, and terrestrial radiation). Actinometry establishes experimental protocols, units of measurement, and operating principles for devices designed to evaluate thermal, chemical, or photochemical effects caused by short electromagnetic waves in the visible and ultraviolet spectrum.
