Workspace Method surfaceFlatSingleEmissivity

Description

Creates variables to mimic specular reflection by a (flat) surface
where the emissivity is specified.

As surfaceFlatVaryingEmissivity, but assumes that the emissivity
does not vary with frequency. The emissivity can be defined with a
a varying degree of complexity and there is no specific workspace
variable defined to hold the emissivity. You have to define the
'surface_emissivity' to match your needs.
