Dear CF Board, I would like to propose the following three related standard names concerning the various measures of radiant energy associated with lightning storms.
Standard_Name: Lightning_event_energy Canonical_Units: Joules Definition: The radiant energy associated with a single, discrete lightning event, the aggregation of a set of which forms a lightning group. A set of related lightning groups forms a lightning flash. A coordinate variable of radiation_wavelength, sensor_band_central_wavelength, or radiation_frequency may be specified to indicate that the lightning_event_energy applies at specific wavelengths or frequencies. -------- Standard_Name: Lightning_group_energy Canonical_Units: Joules Definition: The radiant energy associated with a lightning group formed by aggregating a set of discrete lightning events. A collection of lightning groups forms a lightning flash. A coordinate variable of radiation_wavelength, sensor_band_central_wavelength, or radiation_frequency may be specified to indicate that the lightning_group_energy applies at specific wavelengths or frequencies. -------- Standard_Name: Lightning_flash_energy Canonical_Units: Joules Definition: The radiant energy associated with a lightning flash formed by aggregating a set of lightning groups, where a single lightning group is formed out of a collection of a series of discrete lightning events. A coordinate variable of radiation_wavelength, sensor_band_central_wavelength, or radiation_frequency may be specified to indicate that the lightning_flash_energy applies at specific wavelengths or frequencies.
