MODULE flake_albedo_ref

!------------------------------------------------------------------------------
!
! Description:
!
!  This module contains "reference" values of albedo 
!  for the lake water, lake ice and snow. 
!  As in "flake_paramoptic_ref", two ice categories, viz. white ice and blue ice,
!  and two snow categories, viz. dry snow and melting snow, are used.
