h Hour mha (from) Monthly hourly average Integrated daily solar incident radiance. Days that contain at least one longwave measurement. Days that contain at least one shortwave measurement. “Instantaneous regional estimates” of longwave flux used as input to Subsystem 3.0 for modeling monthly net radiant flux values. This is the average regional longwave flux for whatever day and hour into which the “instantaneous” regional estimates of longwave flux fall. (see Reference 11). Regional longwave average flux for hourbox, (d, h). Monthly longwave flux as calculated from regional longwave averages overall hourboxes in the month.
