Updated atmosphere interface parameters #238

Closed nichollsh closed 4 weeks ago

The following parameters should be added to the config file in the AGNI section, since they are modelled by AGNI and could be interesting to consider more deeply

The surface albedo parameter that currently exists should be moved into the Janus section. The existing parameter albedo_pl should yield a warning when used alongside clouds or rayleigh scattering.

We should also consider storing the Bond albedo of the planet in the helpfile. Taking bond_albedo = F_sct / F_ins is not correct, since F_sct is scaled by the zenith angle while F_ins is not. This is an easy mistake to make and will yield significantly incorrect values for the bond albedo of the planet. It should instead be calculated as ds["fl_U_SW"]/ds["fl_D_SW"] where ds is the atmosphere Dataset generated by AGNI or JANUS.
