1.8 CF Standard Names: Isotropic Longwave Radiance in Air (isotropic_longwave_radiance_in_air)

Record Label : isotropic_longwave_radiance_in_air

Record Title : Isotropic Longwave Radiance in Air

CF Standard Name : isotropic_longwave_radiance_in_air

Record Description : "longwave" means longwave radiation. Radiance is the radiative flux in a particular direction, per unit of solid angle. If radiation is isotropic, the radiance is independent of direction, so the direction should not be specified. If the radiation is directionally dependent, a standard name of upwelling or downwelling radiance should be chosen instead.
