Hi Daniel:
In the case with the GOES-R data sets, Rather than embedding clear sky in the standard name we used both data quality flags and the CF constructs cell_methods and area_types (as applicable) to capture clear sky.
Are there data points in your data sets for which there is no clear sky ?
respectfully,
randy
