Hi All, and happy Friday.
It's been almost a month since Maarten Sneep posted 'A few definitions seem off'
and there have been just a couple of replies.
Can we please add definitions for albedo and air_pressure to the standard names
table? Do people think we don't need these defined - is that the problem?
I have no particular preference about the content of the definitions, here's
what's
been proposed.
We have a document with definitions we use for our remote sensing work. This document
is currently in the signatures loop, but I hope to share it with you in the coming
week. That gives at least our definitions, from a perspective of a group that is
strictly looking in the short-wave spectrum. Note that the document uses maths to
define the quantities, which is a bit awkward for the textual definitions used in CF.
But at least it can provide a basis, for quite some quantities. Also note that there
are quantities defined in the document that would be nice in CF from our perspective,
but I don't feel like 'defending' them here (a slant column, anyone?).
Best,
Maarten
