Workspace Method iyBeerLambertStandardCloudbox

Description

Standard method for handling transmission measurements.

Designed to be part of iy_cloudbox_agenda, and is thus a
complement to iyBeerLambertStandardClearsky.

Only scattering out of the propagation path is considered. Thus,
this method could be used for direct solar occultation measurements
but clearly not for observations of scattered solar radiation.

For regions of no scattering there is a marginal difference between
running this method and the corresponding pure clear-sky agenda,
and there is not critical to set the cloudbox limits in a "tight"
manner.
