Hi Roy, thanks - yes: I think that would do. I am not an expert in this field and don't know if the light meter spectral response is close enough to what models generally consider "shortwave flux", but this might be a rather fine point.
In any case it would be good if a search for "irradiance" or "radiation" would turn up something that points to "shortwave" and "longwave" as well. "downwelling_shortwave_*radiation*_flux_in_air" would be more precise, but also redundant for a human being... Cheers, Martin > -----Original Message----- > From: Lowry, Roy K.
