If set to true ICAR calculates the atmospheric stability within the ICAR domain from the current state of the forcing data set instead of the ICAR domain. This is in agreement with the theoretical basis of ICAR, linear mountain-wave theory, where atmospheric stability is considered a property of the atmospheric background state and not of the perturbed atmosphere. In case of ICAR, the background state is given by the forcing.

The standard behaviour of ICAR is preserved, to activate this behaviour set N_from_forcing = .True. in the lt_parameters namelist in the options file of ICAR.

I will add them with another fix, on my fork this branch doesn't yet know about the other fields. What's still missing here is that currently there's still some high resolution information finding its way into N and I haven't quite figured out how to avoid this correctly.
