- | The data cube (returned by the SSW object method ''get\_window\_data'' or by the Python ''astropy'' or ''sunraster'' libraries) of the SPICE level-2 files contains spectral radiances in units of W/m²/s/sr/nm. The wavelength vector has units of nm. To convert a radiance in W/m²/s/sr to erg/cm²/s/sr, it is necessary to multiply by 1000. | + | The data cube (returned by the SSW object method ''get\_window\_data'' or by the Python ''astropy'' or ''sunraster'' libraries) of the SPICE level-2 files contains spectral radiances in units of W/m²/sr/nm.
