1.8 CF Standard Names: Isotropic Shortwave Radiance in Air (isotropic_shortwave_radiance_in_air)

Record Label : isotropic_shortwave_radiance_in_air

Record Title : Isotropic Shortwave Radiance in Air

CF Standard Name : isotropic_shortwave_radiance_in_air

Record Description : "shortwave" means shortwave 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.
