# Net Radiation Monitoring

## Net Radiation Monitoring with Apogee Net Radiometer and YuDash LYNX

#### 📍 Location: **Assam**

🏢 End Customer: Prestigious Research Institute

Net radiation is widely used in leading research for climate and environmental monitoring. The [Apogee SN-522](https://www.apogeeinstruments.com/sn-522-ss-modbus-net-radiometer/), when paired with the [YuDash LYNX data logger ](/yudash-iot-devices/lynx-user-manual.md)and IoT dashboard, enables continuous tracking of solar and thermal energy balance. In ultra-low power mode with solar panel and battery, the setup operates reliably even in remote, no-power locations, delivering real-time cloud integration for research and prediction.
