% Computes the heat absorbed per unit area due to albedo.
aF and w can be scalars even if r is not.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
q = EarthAlb( r, u, uS, alpha, aF, w )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
r (:) Ratio of satellite radius to planet radius
u (3,:) Unit vector to satellite
uS (3,1) Unit vector to sun
alpha (1,:) Absorptivity (should be specific for albedo)*
aF (1,:) Albedo fraction (uses 0.34 if no input)*
w (1,:) Flux (uses 1367 w/m^2 if no input)*
*optional
-------
Outputs
-------
q (1,:) Absorbed flux (watts/m^2)
