Record Label : toa_outgoing_shortwave_flux_assuming_no_aerosol
Record Title : Toa Outgoing Shortwave Flux Assuming No Aerosol
CF Standard Name : toa_outgoing_shortwave_flux_assuming_no_aerosol
Record Description : The abbreviation "toa" means top of atmosphere. The term "shortwave" means shortwave radiation. 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. A phrase "assuming_condition" indicates that the named quantity is the value which would obtain if all aspects of the system were unaltered except for the assumption of the circumstances specified by the condition.
