downwelling_spectral_photon_radiance_in_sea_water  

Definition

  • Downwelling radiation is radiation from above. It does not mean 'net downward'. Photon radiance is the photon flux in a particular direction, per unit of solid angle. The direction from which it is coming must be specified, for instance with a coordinate of zenith_angle. If the radiation does not depend on direction, a standard name of isotropic radiance should be chosen instead. A photon flux is specified in terms of numbers of photons expressed in moles.
