Sure. I welcome you to take over the moderation of this thread.
My only intentions were to establish a more focused thread as a means to
better engage the community, and ensure "radiance" related quantities
derived from satellite data are consistently defined.
Please accept my apology if you were offended.
very respectfully,
randy

***This quantity and its standard_name are identical to that proposed by >
Aleksander. See c) above. *** I think the way standard name proposals go,
you do not propose already proposed names by someone else. You can comment
on such proposals and suggest changes or voice your approval or
disapproval. This is primarily to avoid the confusion about which proposals
are being discussed and at what stage of the acceptance they are. The
above standard name you re-proposed was originally proposed by me back in
November last year and until now it did not receive any feedback. So,
naturally, I am very interested to get it accepted as soon as possible. For
that reason, my I regain the moderation of this standard name proposal?
