Folks:



Would like to propose a new standard name for a quantity that will be included 
in the GOES-R reflectance channels' radiance, and cloud and moisture imagery 
products.  This is not a unique quantity, and has relevance to products 
generated by other systems, particularly weather satellite systems.



standard_name:

toa_solar_irradiance_per_unit_wavelength



definition:

"toa" means top of atmosphere. "solar" indicates contributions from the sun.  
Irradiance is the radiant power per unit area incident at a surface.



canonical units:

W m-2 ?m-1





Note the precedence for the form of this standard name was established recently 
in the thread with subject:  [CF-metadata] More canonical units or more 
standard names?



very respectfully,



randy
