An inexpensive miniature strip net radiometer was constructed for average net radiation measurement along a horizontal line in dense foliage such as short grasses or row crops. The sensing surface was 1.3 ✕ 40 cm and was enclosed in a polyethylene shield for protection against wind and weather. The unit was calibrated relative to a temperature‐compensated, net‐exchange radiometer, and gave a linear response.
