CF Standard Name : net_downward_shortwave_flux_in_air
Record Description : "shortwave" means shortwave radiation. "Downward" indicates a vector component which is positive when directed downward (negative upward). Net downward radiation is the difference between radiation from above (downwelling) and radiation from below (upwelling).
