The data header for the various PSM3 endpoints includes the units for each field (e.g. GHI Units -> w/m2), with the exception of the two new UV irradiance fields ghuv-280-400 and ghuv-295-385. From the looks of the values I'm guessing they are W/m^2 like the other irradiance fields, but seems like those units ought to be explicitly included next to the others.
Separately: probably changing these spellings will break somebody's code, so I'm not necessarily advocating for any changes here, but as long as I'm complaining about unit symbols I can't help but nitpick the others :wink::
Temperature units: currently c, but is more properly spelled °C (note that a bare C is technically the symbol for the coulomb)
Irradiance units: currently w/m2, but is more properly spelled W/m2 or W/m^2
