ukmo_03a    in the GT, and  SH data sets

has
   ssw and sswi  instead of sswi and sswr  (ssw = sswi + sswr)
                                           (sswr = ssw - sswi)
and has
   slw and slwd  instead of slwd and slwu  (slw = slwd + slwu)
                                           (slwu = slw - slwd)

ukmo_03a       * 0.01   metadata indicate fraction (1), but data look like %
AGUforAPE-03a  * 0.01   metadata indicate fraction (1), but data look like %
LASG-03a       * 0.01   metadata indicate fraction (1), but data look like %

(NSIPP-01  ok although metadata indicate (%), but data look like fraction)

(NCAR-03a, K1JAPAN-03a, CCAM-05a all indicate fraction and look like fraction)
