Preferred term

isotropic_shortwave_radiance_in_air  

Definition

  • 'shortwave' means shortwave radiation. Radiance is the radiative flux in a particular direction, per unit of solid angle. If radiation is isotropic, the radiance is independent of direction, so the direction should not be specified. If the radiation is directionally dependent, a standard name of upwelling or downwelling radiance should be chosen instead.

Note

  • Mapping to be determined
