function [qsw,alb]=swhf(yd,yr,long,lat,dsw)
% SWHF: computes net shortwave heat flux into the ocean and albedo.
% [qsw,alb]=SWHF(yd,yr,long,lat,dsw) computes the net shortwave heat 
% flux into the ocean and albedo, using Payne (1972), J. Atm. Sci., 29,
% 959-970, to estimate the instantaneous albedo given the atmospheric 
% transmittance (the ratio of measured insolation to the no-atmosphere 
% insolation).
%
% INPUT:  yd   - decimal yearday (e.g., 0000Z Jan 1 is 0.0)
%         yr   - year (e.g., 1995)
%         long - longitude  [deg]
%         lat  - latitude  [deg]
%         dsw  - (measured) insolation  [W/m^2]
%
% OUTPUT: qsw - net shortwave heat flux [W/m^2]
%         alb - albedo
