Slot: Solar Radiation Basis (solar_radiation_basis)

For WBGT / UTCI inputs, the basis used for solar radiation.

Tier: recommended

Why this slot matters

WBGT and UTCI respond strongly to solar load; whether the sun input was a measured shortwave flux, a modelled mean radiant temperature, or absent (triggering a fallback formula) changes the value and whether two records are comparable at all.

In plain terms

How much sunshine hits a person is part of how hot they feel, and datasets represent "sunshine" in different ways — or not at all. This says which representation fed the calculation.
