Hello CF, I am sending this request on behalf of Odele Coddington, Peter Pilewskie and Judith Lean (all copied). Please address your questions to them.
Thanks, Phil -- We are proposing two new standard names for Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) and Solar Spectral Irradiance (SSI) at the top of the atmosphere. Your comments on these two proposals would be appreciated. Regards, Odele Coddington and Peter Pilewskie (CU-Boulder/LASP) and Judith Lean (NRL) standard name: toa_total_solar_irradiance definition: The solar power per unit area integrated over all wavelengths that is incident at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere (TOA), at a standard distance of one Astronomical Unit (1 AU) from the Sun, in units of Watts per square meter. canonical units: W m-2 standard name: toa_solar_spectral_irradiance definition: The solar power per unit area per unit wavelength that is incident at the top of the Earth’s atmosphere, at a standard distance of one Astronomical Unit (1 AU) from the Sun, in units of Watts per square meter per nanometer (1 nm = 10 ^–9 m). canonical units: W m-2 m-1 -- Philip R.
