Record Label : toa_outgoing_shortwave_flux
Record Title : Toa Outgoing Shortwave Flux
CF Standard Name : toa_outgoing_shortwave_flux
Record Description : "shortwave" means shortwave radiation. "toa" means top of atmosphere. The TOA outgoing shortwave flux is the reflected and scattered solar radiative flux i.e. the "upwelling" TOA shortwave flux, sometimes called the "outgoing shortwave radiation" or "OSR". In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics.
