!> Land surface model, consisting of a solver for the energy balance at the
!> surface and a multi layer soil scheme. The scheme is similar to the TESSEL
!> scheme implemented in the ECMWF IFS model, with modifications according to
!> H-TESSEL. The implementation is based on the formulation implemented in the 
!> DALES and UCLA-LES models.
!>
!> @todo Extensive verification energy-balance solver for vertical surfaces, 
!>       e.g. parametrization of r_a
!> @todo Revise single land-surface processes for vertical surfaces, e.g. 
!>       treatment of humidity, etc. 
!> @todo Consider partial absorption of the net shortwave radiation by the 
!>       skin layer.
!> @todo Improve surface water parameterization
!> @todo Invert indices (running from -3 to 0. Currently: nzb_soil=0, 
!>       nzt_soil=3)).
!> @todo Implement surface runoff model (required when performing long-term LES 
!>       with considerable precipitation.
!> @todo Revise calculation of f2 when wilting point is non-constant in the
!>       soil
!> @todo Allow for zero soil moisture (currently, it is set to wilting point)
!> @note No time step criterion is required as long as the soil layers do not
!>       become too thin.
!> @todo Attention, pavement_subpars_1/2 are hardcoded to 8 levels, in case 
!>       more levels are used this may cause an potential bug
!> @todo Routine calc_q_surface required?
!> @todo Allow for precipitation water to enter pavements that are semi-pervious
