"toa" means top of atmosphere. "outgoing" means emitted toward outer space. "inband" means the radiance quantity is for a discrete bandpass. "spectral" means per unit wavenumber or as a function of wavenumber. This quantity is the radiant power per unit area in a given direction per unit solid angle per unit wavelength integrated over a discrete bandpass and normalized by the bandpass response function. Note: A coordinate variable to capture the center wavelength, and potentially, a boundary variable to capture the bandpass extents may be used.
