Spectral Radiation Measurements

On this page you will find information on the requirements for submitting, archiving and publishing Spectral Radiation data, as well as examples of datasets. Please use the template when preparing your spectral radiation data and also read Authors Guides. The following defines frequently used data types and summarizes how to prepare spectral radiation data collected in the field via ship based sensors for submission to PANGAEA.

Parameter names

The long name of the parameter consist of the medium the sensor is placed in as well as the sensor direction. Examples: Radiance, downward, in air or Irradiance, upward, in water .
