1.8 CF Standard Names: Toa Outgoing Radiance Per Unit Wavelength (toa_outgoing_radiance_per_unit_wavelength)

Record Label : toa_outgoing_radiance_per_unit_wavelength

Record Title : Toa Outgoing Radiance Per Unit Wavelength

CF Standard Name : toa_outgoing_radiance_per_unit_wavelength

Record Description : "toa" means top of atmosphere. The TOA outgoing radiance is the upwelling radiance, i.e., toward outer space. Radiance is the radiative flux in a particular direction, per unit of solid angle. In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
