+9) aeroptical.e : compute aerosol opacities at a given wavelength
+--------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Program to compute opacities [1/km] of all aerosols from dust, water ice
+and stormdust present in the input file, at a wavelength given by the user.
+Computation is made from the aerosol mass mixing ratios and effective radius,
+associated with air density (rho) and files containing the aerosol 
+optical properties (generally present in the GCM datadir/ directory).
+
+NB : water ice effective radius is known to be a bit inaccurate in the GCM,
+so reffwice can be prescribed by the user.
