What Is This Tool?
This tool converts values from joule per square meter (J/m^2) to langley, enabling measurement of heat energy per unit area. Joule per square meter quantifies areal energy density, often used in heat transfer and solar radiation contexts. Langley expresses incident heat energy typically applied in solar radiation studies and meteorological data.
How to Use This Tool?
