Collaboration diagram for mom_opacity::optics_type:

Public variables and constants
integer	nbands
	The number of penetrating bands of SW radiation.

real, dimension(:,:,:,:), pointer	opacity_band => NULL()
	SW optical depth per unit thickness [m-1] The number of radiation bands is most rapidly varying (first) index.

real, dimension(:,:,:), pointer	sw_pen_band => NULL()
	shortwave radiation [W m-2] at the surface in each of the nbands bands that penetrates beyond the surface. The most rapidly varying dimension is the band.

real, dimension(:), pointer	min_wavelength_band => NULL()
	The minimum wavelength in each band of penetrating shortwave radiation [nm].

real, dimension(:), pointer	max_wavelength_band => NULL()
	The maximum wavelength in each band of penetrating shortwave radiation [nm].

real	pensw_flux_absorb
	A heat flux that is small enough to be completely absorbed in the next sufficiently thick layer [H degC T-1 ~> degC m s-1 or degC kg m-2 s-1].

real	pensw_absorb_invlen
	The inverse of the thickness that is used to absorb the remaining shortwave heat flux when it drops below PEN_SW_FLUX_ABSORB [H ~> m or kg m-2].

logical	answers_2018
	If true, use the order of arithmetic and expressions that recover the answers from the end of 2018. Otherwise, use updated and more robust forms of the same expressions.
