DoitGetIncoming

Calculates incoming radiation field of the cloudbox by repeated radiative transfer calculations.

The method performs monochromatic pencil beam calculations for all grid positions on the cloudbox boundary, and all directions given by scattering angle grids (aa_grid). Found radiances are stored in cloudbox_field which can be used as boundary conditions when scattering inside the cloud box is solved by the DoitCalc() method.

Note that cloudbox_field will always hold intensity in terms of radiances, regardless of the setting of iy_unit (unit conversion is done within yCalc() or iyCalc(), which will provide their output in terms of the specified iy_unit; no explicit unit conversion by the user necessary.).
