      !! 1. For Pure Snow, A_sw (at 0.5 microns) should be equal to ~0.95
      !!    -> This gives an equivalent integrated snow albedo of ~0.73 for the Sun.
      !!
      !! 2. For Dusty Snow, A_sw (at 0.5 microns) should be equal to ~0.50.
      !!    -> This gives an equivalent integrated snow albedo of ~0.39 for the Sun.
      !!
      !! 3. For 'Realistic' Snow, A_sw (at 0.5 microns) should be equal to ~0.645.
      !!    -> This gives an equivalent integrated snow albedo of ~0.50 for the Sun.
