Subject:
SGP/SIROS - wrong units for broadband irradiance
DataStreams:sgpsirosE24.a1, sgpsirosE1.a1, sgpsirosE18.a1, sgpsirosE9.a1, sgpsirosE4.a1,
sgpsirosE20.a1, sgpsirosE12.a1, sgpsirosE8.a1, sgpsirosE7.a1, sgpsirosE13.a1, sgpsirosE10.a1,

Description:
Headers for SIROS, give the units for broadband irradiance as 'watts per square meter' 
(w/m^2).  However, the units are really 'counts'.  The fields affected are:
'hemisp_broadband:units'
'diffuse_hemisp_broadband:units'
'direct_norm_broadband:units'

This problem existed since the beginning of the data streams, and was
corrected on 1/23/96.
