What Does ACR Stand For?
ACR stands for Active Cavity Radiometer
ACR, or Active Cavity Radiometer, is a highly sensitive instrument used for measuring the intensity of radiation, particularly in the infrared spectrum. It operates by utilizing an active cavity that absorbs radiation, allowing precise quantification of power through temperature change. ACRs are essential in various scientific applications, including climate research and remote sensing, where accurate data on energy flux is crucial for understanding atmospheric and environmental processes.
