Processing Notes : In general the shortwave flux should be reported as a function of ocean depth, (i.e., it will be a function of the generic "XYZ" dimensions). Include enough depth levels to represent the non-zero values of this field everywhere on the globe. Report on native horizontal grid. If a function of depth, perform online remapping to depth or pressure, if not native vertical grid.

Description : Downwelling radiation is radiation from above. It does not mean "net downward". When thought of as being incident on a surface, a radiative flux is sometimes called "irradiance". In addition, it is identical with the quantity measured by a cosine-collector light-meter and sometimes called "vector irradiance". In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. "shortwave" means shortwave radiation.
