Hi:

I’m wondering if the short name for Mean surface downward short-wave radiation flux has been changed with out the documentation update.

Our scripts broke today and upon inspection it looks as if the previous short name msdwswrf has been changed to avg_sdswrf.

I couldn’t find an announcement for this change, does anyone know if this is permanent or just a fluke.

I apologize if I missed the announcement for this change.

While typing this, I did notice it is updated on the parameter detail page:
Mean surface downward short-wave radiation flux

Currently I’m seeing it now as “avg_sdirswrf”. Seems that it’s still in flux. Broke our scripts too.
