Hi.
I also just noticed that I changed the canonical units in my suggestion
to "W m-2 nm-1". It should be "W m-2 m-1" as in the original submission.

I can't find any other cases where CF includes the units explicitly in
the definition, since they are given explicitly by the canonical units
entry. So I suggest the "in units of..." phrase be removed from both
definitions.

Hi.
The definition of toa_solar_spectral_irradiance should be modified to
read:
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). A
coordinate variable for radiation wavelength should be given the
standard name radiation_wavelength.
canonical units:
W m-2 nm-1
Grace and peace,
Jim

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,

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.

Lean (NRL)

definition:
The solar power per unit area integrated over all wavelengths that

units of Watts per square meter.
