Hi Daniel:


In the case with the GOES-R data sets,  Rather than embedding clear sky in the 
standard name we used both data quality flags and the CF constructs 
cell_methods and area_types (as applicable) to capture clear sky.

Are there data points in your data sets for which there is no clear sky ?

respectfully,

randy
