! Description:
! ------------
!> Calculates large scale forcings (geostrophic wind and subsidence velocity) as 
!> well as surfaces fluxes dependent on time given in an external file (LSF_DATA).
!> Moreover, module contains nudging routines, where u, v, pt and q are nudged 
!> to given profiles on a relaxation timescale tnudge. 
!> Profiles are read in from NUDGING_DATA. 
!> Code is based on Neggers et al. (2012) and also in parts on DALES and UCLA-LES.
!> @todo: Revise reading of ASCII-files
!> @todo: Remove unused variables and control flags
!> @todo: Revise large-scale facing of surface variables
!> @todo: Revise control flags lsf_exception, lsf_surf, lsf_vert, etc.
