Workspace Variable abs_cont_names

Continuum / full model absorption tag names.

This variable should contain a list of tag names
of continuum and full models, respectively.
Associated with this WSV is the WSV
`abs_cont_models' which contains the specific model version of
each continuum / full model absorption tag and the WSV
`abs_cont_parameters' which should contain the continuum / full model
user defined parameters. The user defined parameters are only used when
the specified model is 'user'. See also the online documentation in
arts/doc/doxygen/html/continua_cc.html.

   MPM93 model, described in:
   H. J. Liebe,
   MPM - An Atmospheric Millimeter-Wave Propagation Model,
   Int. J. Infrared and Millimeter Waves, vol. 10(6),
   pp. 631-650, 1989;
   and based on:
   Olsen, R.L., D.V. Rogers, and D. B. Hodge,
   The aR^b relation in the calculation of rain attenuation,
   IEEE Trans. Antennas Propagat., vol. AP-26, pp. 318-329, 1978.
   IMPORTANT NOTE: rain-MPM93 parameterizes the EXTINCTION by rain,
    not just the absorption. Therefore it is not suitable for 
    calculating thermal emission by rain!
    Please use rain-MPM93 only for calculation of attenuation.
