alb_surft

We get alb_surtf by UNPACKing the calculated variables describing the effective surface reflectance, EffSurfRefl_beam(dif) (formerly known as rad%reffdf and rad%reffbm).

The direct beam and diffuse components describing the Effective Surface Reflectance appear to be computed slightly differently than they were previously, however they are scientifically identical to the previous calculation.

The links herein are specific to beam and diffuse calculation.

The Sow Modified surface albedo (considering that their may be snow present (AlbSnow - formerly snow%albsoilsn) and knowledge of the sunlit/vegetated status of the site (sunlit_veg_mask ) .....

To see the calculation in full context of the subroutine cbl_albedo.F90 in the MOSRS repository.
