Dear CF board:
I would like to propose three new standard names. All three of these
names are fire-related quantities that will be data products produced by
the future GOES-R satellite platform. I'm putting all three of these
names in one post since they are related to one another and have simple
definitions. Also note that "fire" in each name refers to all kinds of
fires (e.g. grassland, forest, etc.). I didn't specifically state this
in the definition but could if people feel that it would help to clarify.
_Fire Area_
Standard Name: fire_area
Definition:"X_area" means the horizontal area occupied by X within the
grid cell.
Canonical Units:m^2
_Fire Temperature_
Standard Name: fire_temperature
Definition:The fire_temperature is the temperature of a fire area
(standard name: fire_area).
Canonical Units:K
_Fire Radiative Power_
Standard Name: fire_radiative_power
Definition:The radiative power emitted from a fire area (standard name:
fire_area). The fire radiative power is defined as the product of the
blackbody irradiance of a fire and the corresponding fire area.
Canonical Units:W
Sincerely,
Jonathan
