! May 2007: ActSim code of M. Chiriaco and H. Chepfer rewritten by S. Bony
!
! May 2008, H. Chepfer:
! - Units of pressure inputs: Pa 
! - Non Spherical particles : LS Ice NS coefficients, CONV Ice NS coefficients
! - New input: ice_type (0=ice-spheres ; 1=ice-non-spherical)
!
! June 2008, A. Bodas-Salcedo:
! - Ported to Fortran 90 and optimisation changes
!
! August 2008, J-L Dufresne:
! - Optimisation changes (sum instructions suppressed)
!
! October 2008, S. Bony,  H. Chepfer and J-L. Dufresne :  
! - Interface with COSP v2.0:
!      cloud fraction removed from inputs
!      in-cloud condensed water now in input (instead of grid-averaged value)
!      depolarisation diagnostic removed
!      parasol (polder) reflectances (for 5 different solar zenith angles) added
