RADIOMETRIC INTER-CALIBRATION of SOHO

Conventions/Notations/Units

For the publication, a common terminology, as well as the use of a common set of units and notations has been agreed on:

• irradiance always at 1 AU
• nm instead of A
• no plural in units and no multiple "/" : eg. nothing like "photons/m^2/s^1"
• instead: "photon m^-2 s^-1" or "photon/(m^2 s )" or separate photons from units, as e.g., photon irradiance E = 1*10^12/(m^2 s)
• no comma to mark kilo: "10 000" instead of "10,000"
  (LATEX generates a small space with "10\,000")
• units in figures: "Speed / (km s^-1)", i.e. divide by unit to get a number, e.g.: "log T/K" instead of "log T = 5.4 (T in K)"
• for the majority of cases: "accidental loss of attitude" or "attitude loss" instead of "vacation"
• arc seconds as "arcsec", no sorry: '' (according to NIST standard)
• references to articles in the book as: "this volume",
  e.g. in the text: see Blabla et al. [2002]; in the bibliography: Blabla, X., Title, this volume, 2002.
• please be careful using the expressions "sensitivity" and "responsivity"
  responsivity: should be used for all quantitative descriptions (like usage of the word "efficiency" or "effective area")
  sensitivity: is "more general" and just a qualitative expression
