Hi Martin,
There are two Standard Names 'downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air' and
'downwelling_longwave_flux_in_air'. Do either of these fit your data. I have
associated the former with downwelling irradiance data from PAR
cosine-collector light meters.
Cheers, Roy.

Hello -
It would be useful to know what type of measurement you're
working with. Is it an observed variable? What kind instrument
made the measurement, and at what position - i.e is it on a surface
buoy?
We use surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air for swr
measured by an Eppley PSP
Hi Roy,
thanks - yes: I think that would do. I am not an expert in this field and
don't know if the light meter spectral response is close enough to what models
generally consider shortwave flux, but this might be a rather fine point.
In any case it would be good if a search for
Hi again,
more on the CASTNET data. They provide
15,WINDSPEED,m/sec,Vector wind speed; m/sec.,NUMBER,16,4,
and
23,WINDSPEED_SCALAR,m/sec,Scalar wind speed; m/sec.,NUMBER,16,4,
The first appears to be a vector average = sqrt( mean(u)**2 + mean(v)**2 )
the second is = mean( sqrt(u**2 +
Janine,
The data model envisioned by CF requires that the time coordinate
variable be fully enumerated. In other words, your scenario
requires a time dimension at the highest rate, including a time
coordinate value for every time step. time(:) = 0.00, 0.04, 0.08
seconds, etc. I am not
