Contains the spectral curves for the atmospheric conditions called :name. The width of this table is the same as that of /SpectralSamples and columns in this table correspond to wavelengths stored in that table. The curves for solar declination sample in column i of /SolarDeclinationSamples can be found according to the following table.

Curve Row Units

Ground-reaching solar irradiance

4 * i

W / (cm^2 micron)

Path radiance per meter

4 * i + 1

W / (cm^2 sr m micron)

Path extinction per meter

4 * i + 2

1 / m

Hemispherical sky irradiance

4 * i + 3

W / (cm^2 micron)
