Last night I was looking at weather stations along the Columbia River near 
Boneville Dam and I came up with this. Been pretty hot up there again.
A "Langley"
a CGS unit of heat transmission equal to one thermochemical calorie per square 
centimeter, or exactly 41.84 kilojoules per square meter (kJ/m2). Named for the 
American astronomer Samuel P. Langley (1834-1906), the langley is used to 
express the rate of solar radiation received by the earth.

Came off the AGRIMET system on the US Bureau of Reclaimation site. Agricultural 
statistics stuff. Pretty cool stuff. 
New to me.
