clean radiation fluxes #160

Dear colleague,

In the Data request 01.00.06 I have the following questions:

what is the difference, if any, between the rsutna and rsutca variables, and between the rstunacs and rsutcsca variables?
if the answer to the first question is "there is no difference", then please amend the naming of the rlutca rlutcsca variables according to the naming chosen for the short wave fluxes.

Regards, Martine Michou

It looks as though they are the same, also, "rsutcc" is probably the same as "rsutnacs". I will check with the MIPs that proposed them.
