Nan, unfortunately I don't know the instrument type. I am dealing with the CASTNET data http://java.epa.gov/castnet/ and I am primarily interested in ozone. A brief search didn't turn up any info on the instrument type. But "downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air" or "surface_downwelling_shortwave_flux_in_air" both seem to be good options.
