CMIP6 - GeoMIP. (Why hasn't post appeared on mailing list?). Rejected because this is a duplicate of a quantity needed for RFMIP - note that RFMIP name will become an alias of the syntax in this one because we agreed 'no_aerosol' instead of 'clean'.

toa_outgoing_shortwave_flux_assuming_clear_sky_and_no_aerosol W m-2 [UFAA] The abbreviation "toa" means top of atmosphere. The term "shortwave" means shortwave radiation. The TOA outgoing shortwave flux is the reflected and scattered solar radiative flux i.e. the "upwelling" TOA shortwave flux, sometimes called the "outgoing shortwave radiation" or "OSR". In accordance with common usage in geophysical disciplines, "flux" implies per unit area, called "flux density" in physics. A phrase "assuming_condition" indicates that the named quantity is the value which would obtain if all aspects of the system were unaltered except for the assumption of the circumstances specified by the condition. "Clear sky" means in the absence of clouds.
