Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-006864
A unit of energy flux density, specifically for solar radiation, representing one gram calorie per square centimeter. It quantifies the amount of solar energy received on a surface. This unit is often used in studies of Earth's energy budget and surface heating, though the joule per square meter is the standard SI unit.
