Re: [CF-metadata] Ambient light [Sec=Unclassified]

Hi Miles,

Should there be anything in the Standard Name to specify the wavelengths of 
light detected in the measurement e.g. 
luminous_intensity_of_shortwave_radiation_in air?

Cheers, Roy.

 Dear Miles

 Just wondering if there is a standard name that I should use for
 ambient light in air measured in candles; I can't see one for ambient
 light, luminous intensity, or anything else I can think of.

 I don't think there is at present. Is candle the same as the SI unit
 candela? Please propose a standard name if you would like to.

Yes, candela == candle. May I suggest luminous_intensity_in_air?

Regards,

Miles

Quite possibly. I will have to take your recommendation on that as I am more on 
the software development side of things. Or shall I ask the people from my end 
that understand the data better?

Sounds ok to me though.

Hi Miles,

I would confirm with somebody who undestands the data before making any 
decisions.

Cheers, Roy.
