From 07ac04c228a0b7cfbb66f0759f8b58c2f4db79e7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Claire Stirdivant <64609897+cstirdivant@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Fri, 16 Feb 2024 11:14:13 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] Consolidate units for irradiance and powerflux Irradiance is technically a vector subset of powerflux. * Powerflux is the amount of power per unit area striking or leaving a surface * Irradiance is the amount of power per unit area *striking* a surface Therefore, irradiance should inherit units of measurement from powerflux --- ontology/yaml/resources/units/units.yaml | 9 ++++----- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/ontology/yaml/resources/units/units.yaml b/ontology/yaml/resources/units/units.yaml index 1e6f23ffdd..afe12ff49b 100644 --- a/ontology/yaml/resources/units/units.yaml +++ b/ontology/yaml/resources/units/units.yaml @@ -245,11 +245,7 @@ length: distance level: distance impulse: newton_seconds: STANDARD -irradiance: - watts_per_square_meter_irradiance: STANDARD - kilowatts_per_square_meter_irradiance: - multiplier: 1000 - offset: 0 +irradiance: powerflux linearacceleration: acceleration linearvelocity: meters_per_second: STANDARD @@ -391,6 +387,9 @@ powerflux: watts_per_square_foot: multiplier: 0.092903 offset: 0 + kilowatts_per_square_meter: + multiplier: 1000 + offset: 0 pressure: pascals: STANDARD hectopascals:
