Irradiance is a measure of radiometric flux [divided] per unit area. Irradiance is typically expressed in W/cm² (watts per square centimeter). 5, record 1, English, - irradiance
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 OBS
The photometric equivalent of irradiance is illuminance [lux], obtained by integrating spectral irradiance times luminous efficiency over the visible spectrum. 3, record 1, English, - irradiance
