ISCCP, MODIS, and MISR outputs are valid only for daytime/sunlit columns

(to be consistent with available satellite retrievals).

In order to aggregate only daytime columns in time averages, these outputs are
85-
multiplied by the sunlit flag (0 or 1) at each COSP calculation time.

Time averages of these quantities are then aggregated, along with the COSP

sunlit flag each time COSP is called.

In order to back out the daytime-only time averages from the outputs,
89-
one needs to divide the output fields by `cosp_sunlit`.
