Hi all,
I am trying to find a standard name for a satellite product referred to as 'normalised flurorescence line height'. A description of this from the data provider[1] is as follows:
"Fluorescence Line Height (FLH) is a relative measure of the amount of radiance
leaving the sea surface in the chlorophyll fluorescence emmission band, which
is presumably a result of chlorophyll fluorescence. A baseline is defined as the
linear fit between the two bands (667nm and 748nm) bracketing the fluorescent
band (678nm). The 678nm signal over and above this baseline is the FLH."
My proposal for a standard name is:
surface_upwelling_spectral_radiance_in_air_emerging_from_sea_water_due_to_fluorescence_from_chlorophyll
With units of 'W m-2 sr-1'
Because the radiance is specified to be 'due_to_fluorescence_from_chlorophyll', this standard name is specific to this normalised variable.
Cheers,
Andy
