An improved net radiometer using very thin hemispherical polythene windshields is described. Balanced radiant heating of the windshield prevents formation of dew. Two of these instruments, suitably matched, permit direct measurements of radiative flux divergence in the lowest few metres of the atmosphere, with an accuracy of at least 10%. Some preliminary results are given.
