! - removed calculating the rdiation flux for surfaces at the radiation scheme
!   in case of using RTM since it will be calculated anyway in the radiation 
!   interaction routine.
! - set SW radiation flux for surfaces to zero at night in case of no RTM is used

! Description:
! ------------
!> Radiation models and interfaces
!> @todo Replace dz(1) appropriatly to account for grid stretching
!> @todo move variable definitions used in radiation_init only to the subroutine
!>       as they are no longer required after initialization.
!> @todo Output of full column vertical profiles used in RRTMG
!> @todo Output of other rrtm arrays (such as volume mixing ratios)
!> @todo Check for mis-used NINT() calls in raytrace_2d
!>       RESULT: Original was correct (carefully verified formula), the change
!>               to INT broke raytracing      -- P. Krc
!> @todo Optimize radiation_tendency routines
!>
!> @note Many variables have a leading dummy dimension (0:0) in order to
!>       match the assume-size shape expected by the RRTMG model.
