lsswr,lslwr	logical flags for sw/lw radiation calls
aerosw	(IMAX,NLAY,NBDSW,NF_AESW), aeros opt properties for sw (:,:,:,1): optical depth (:,:,:,2): single scattering albedo (:,:,:,3): asymmetry parameter
aerolw	(IMAX,NLAY,NBDLW,NF_AELW), aeros opt properties for lw (:,:,:,1): optical depth (:,:,:,2): single scattering albedo (:,:,:,3): asymmetry parameter
aerodp	(IMAX,NSPC1), vertically integrated optical depth

General Algorithm

1. Convert lat/lon from radiance to degree.

1. Compute level height and layer thickness.

1. Calculate SW aerosol optical properties for the corresponding frequency bands:
   • if opac aerosol climatology is used, call aer_property(): this subroutine maps the 5 degree global climatological aerosol data set onto model grids, and compute aerosol optical properties for SW and LW radiations.
   • if gocart aerosol scheme is used, call setgocartaer(): this subroutine computes sw + lw aerosol optical properties for gocart aerosol species (merged from fcst and clim fields).

1. Compute stratosphere volcanic forcing:
   • select data in 4 lat bands, interpolation at the boundaries
   • Find lower boundary of stratosphere: polar, fixed at 25000pa (250mb); tropic, fixed at 15000pa (150mb); mid-lat, interpolation
   • SW: add volcanic aerosol optical depth to the background value
   • Smoothing profile at boundary if needed
   • LW: add volcanic aerosol optical depth to the background value
