Proposal for standard names: radiance and irradiance as measured from satellite

Change Date: Nov. 26, 2014, 11:57 a.m.

Term: toa_incoming_photon_solar_irradiance_per_unit_wavelength

Unit: mol m-2 m-1 s-1

Unit ref:

AMIP:

GRIB:

"toa" means top of atmosphere. "Photon solar irradiance" is the photon flux on a surface perpendicular to the incoming solar radiation. The direction is specified as "incoming". A photon flux is specified in terms of numbers of photons expressed in moles. The "per unit wavelength" indicates a spectrally resolved quantity. A coordinate variable for radiation wavelength should be given the standard name radiation_wavelength.
