spectral_radiance_fieldExpandCloudboxField

Uses and expands cloudbox_field to set spectral_radiance_field.

The method demands that cloudbox_field starts at the first pressure level (i.e. cloudbox_limits[0] is 0). The method copies cloudbox_field to fill spectral_radiance_field up to the top of the cloudbox.

To fill the remaning part of spectral_radiance_field, clear-sky calculations are performed largely in the same maner as done by spectral_radiance_fieldClearskyPlaneParallel(). That is, clear-sky calculations are done for the upper part of the atmosphere, assuming a flat planet.

Note that the cloud box constitutes the lower boundary for the later calculations, and iy_cloudbox_agenda must be set to perform an interpolation of the cloudbox field.
