A unit of solar energy per unit area, equal to one gramme-calorie per square centimetre (approximately 41,900 joules per square metre).
1947Nature 6 Sept. 327/1 It is herewith proposed that the ‘langley’ be defined as the gm. cal./cm.2, where ‘gm. cal.’ denotes the 15°C. gm. cal. It is also proposed that the written abbreviation of ‘langley’ be ‘ly’. 1954J. C. Johnson Physical Meteorol. iv. 108 σ = ..8·22 × 10-11 langley minute-1. σ is called the Stefan-Boltzmann constant. 1970Day & Sternes Climate & Weather v. 145 The solar constant..is alternatively expressed as nearly 2·0 langleys per minute. 1974Nature 15 Nov. 217/1 For the point of equilibrium I take 17 langley per day (1 langley = 1 calorie cm-2) above the 1950 value of 847 langley per day. |
