SHORT_SD_WEIGHT

    Weight scaling factor for the generated visibilities.

    It is a relative scaling factor in the weights compared to a  supposedly
    optimal weighting to give the best combined synthesized beam. That opti-
    mal weighting essentially gives the same weight density par unit area in
    the  UV plane than the shortest baselines measured with the interferome-
    ter only.  However, if the single-dish data has not been  observed  long
    enough, or has baselines problems for example, this weight may add noise
    to the overall data set, so could be down-weighted.

      Default: 1.0
