Hi.
The definition of toa_solar_spectral_irradiance should be modified to read:
standard name:
toa_solar_spectral_irradiance
definition:
The solar power per unit area per unit wavelength that is incident
at the top of the Earth?s atmosphere, at a standard distance of one
Astronomical Unit (1 AU) from the Sun, in units of Watts per square
meter per nanometer (1 nm = 10 ^?9 m). A coordinate variable for
radiation wavelength should be given the standard name
radiation_wavelength.
canonical units:
W m-2 nm-1
Grace and peace,
Jim
