The net radiation measured by the pyranometers represents net shortwave (or solar) radiant flux, and the net radiation measured by the pyrgeometers represents net longwave (or far infrared) radiant flux.
On the other hand, the pyrgeometers used for longwave radiation measure radiant heat fluxes in the far infrared spectrum (5-50 [micro]m).
