Jonathan:
"shortwave" is a better option than "solar". Here is the revised proposal: standard_name: toa_shortwave_irradiance_per_unit_wavelength definition: "toa" means top of atmosphere. "shortwave" means shortwave radiation. 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? Thanks. very respectfully, randy ++++++ Dear Randy The form of the standard name looks fine to me. I wonder about the word "solar". In many existing standard names, the word "shortwave" is used to refer to radiation from the sun. "solar" only refers so far to the position of the sun in the sky. Best wishes Jonathan +++++ 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 _______________________________________________ CF-metadata mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata ----- End forwarded message ----- _______________________________________________ CF-metadata mailing list [email protected] http://mailman.cgd.ucar.edu/mailman/listinfo/cf-metadata
