EarthRad:

Path: SC/Environs

% Computes the heat absorbed due to earth radiation.

   Since version 1.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
   Form:
   q = EarthRad( r, alpha, w )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ------
   Inputs
   ------
   r           (1,:) Distance from center of the planet in radii
   alpha       (1,1) Absorptivity (should be specific for infrared)
   w           (1,1) Flux (uses 250 w/m^2 if no input)
                     Cloudy sky is 140 w/m^2, with no clouds = 320 w/m^2

   -------
   Outputs
   -------
   q           (1,:) Absorbed flux per unit area
