This module also containscomputations of the mean-value output (actinic and regular fluxes). The exact Nakajima-Tanakasingle scatter intensity and the exact direct beam intensity are found in vlidort_corrections,while vlidort_writemodules contains subroutines to write control inputs and scene inputsreceived by VLIDORT and outputs generated by VLIDORT.59
