Lightning is frequent and intense, greater than 15 cloud-to-ground strikes in a five-minute period. 6 Dry lightning (same as LAL 3 but without rain). This type of lightning has the potential for starting fires, and is normally highlighted in fire weather forecasts with a red flag warning.

Mathematically, for the spectral power distribution of a radiant exitance or irradiance one may write: =where M(λ) is the spectral irradiance (or exitance) of the light (SI units: W/m 2 = kg·m −1 ·s −3); Φ is the radiant flux of the source (SI unit: watt, W); A is the area over which the radiant flux is integrated (SI unit: square meter, m 2); and λ is the wavelength (SI unit: meter, m).
In his 1983 book The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, [31] Edward Tufte defines 'graphical displays' and principles for effective graphical display in the following passage: "Excellence in statistical graphics consists of complex ideas communicated with clarity, precision, and efficiency. Graphical displays should: show the data
Ohno (2013) proposes an accurate combined method based on a lookup table, a "parabolic" search, and a "triangular" search. The paper stresses the importance of also returning the Δ uv value for evalulation of light sources. [25] As it does not use one fixed table, it can be applied to any observer color matching function. [26]
A tea light-type candle, imaged with a luminance camera; false colors indicate luminance levels per the bar on the right (cd/m 2). Luminance is a photometric measure of the luminous intensity per unit area of light travelling in a given direction. [1]
Daylight harvesting systems are typically designed to maintain a minimum recommended light level. [1] This light level will vary according to the needs and use of the space; for example, the commonly recommended light level for offices is 500 Lux (or around 50 foot-candles) on the desktop.
Mesopic levels range approximately from 0.01 to 3.0 cd/m 2 in luminance. Most nighttime outdoor and street lighting conditions are in the mesopic range. [2] Human eyes respond to certain light levels differently. This is because under high light levels typical during daytime (photopic vision), the eye uses cones to process light.
