Abstract
In solar radiation work the unit called the gram calorie per square centimetre per minute is very frequently used; for longer time intervals, such as an hour or day, for example, the gm.cal./cm.2/hr. or gm.cal./cm.2/day is used, when appropriate. These units are somewhat cumbersome to write and even more awkward to say.
