1.8 CF Standard Names: Omnidirectional Photosynthetic Spherical Irradiance in Sea Water (omnidirectional_photosynthetic_spherical_irradiance_in_sea_water)

Record Label : omnidirectional_photosynthetic_spherical_irradiance_in_sea_water

Record Title : Omnidirectional Photosynthetic Spherical Irradiance in Sea Water

CF Standard Name : omnidirectional_photosynthetic_spherical_irradiance_in_sea_water

Record Description : "Photosynthetic" radiation is the part of the spectrum which is used in photosynthesis e.g. 400-700 nm. The range of wavelengths could be specified precisely by the bounds of a coordinate of radiation_wavelength. Omnidirectional spherical irradiance is the radiation incident on unit area of a spherical (or "4-pi") collector. It is sometimes called "scalar irradiance". Radiation incident on a 2-pi collector has standard names of "spherical irradiance" which specify up/downwelling.
