Workspace Method iySurfaceLambertian
Description
This method calculates upwelling radiation for a lambertian surface due to the scattering of the downgoing diffuse radiation and emission from the surface. This method works only for 1D or 3D atmospheres. For the integration over the zenith angles a gaussian quadrature with N_za angles is used. For 1D atmospheres N_aa is ignored. For 3D atmospheres without clouds azimuthal dependency can be neglected. N_aa = 1 is sufficient. For 3D atmospheres with cloudbox on azimuthal dependency needs to be accounted. In that case the number of azimuth angles N_aa as a rule ofthumb should be set to 4*N_za. For the 1D case N_za downwelling streams and 3D case N_za*N_aa downwelling streams are calculated. This method is designed to be part of iy_surface_agenda Important this method calculates only the scattering of the diffuse downward radiation. No direct incoming radiation is considered Jacobian is supported only for Skin temperature
