Subject:	SGP/SIRS/E12 - SWFANAL Data description error
DataStreams:	sgp1swfanalsirs1longE12.c1, sgp15swfanalsirs1longE12.c1
Description:	The long name attribute for the cloud effect fields incorrectly defines the cloud effect to be the difference between the clearskyfit and measured values: "Difference: *fluxdn_clearskyfit - fluxdn_measured (fcg)" ; The cloud effects are correctly calculated by subtracting the irradiance calculated in the clear sky fit from the measured irradiance. "Difference: fluxdn_measured - fluxdn_clearskyfit (*fcg)" ; NOTE: this is just a documentation error. The data are correctly calculated.
