| Incident solar radiation | Geography | Time integrated solar irradiance (cf. No 2122) is termed irradiation or insulation; however, use of the term irradiance is preferred, it being referred to the relevant time interval. If another time unit than J/m2. s is used, this must be stated. In practice commonly used units are hourly, daily or monthly irradiations. Source: European Union. (references) | |
