When using RRTMG with lCnstAlbedo = .false., a solar-angle-dependent parameterization of albedo is used.

dales/src/modradrrtmg.f90

Line 846 in 0d7e912

call albedo ! calculate albedo for the solarZenithAngleCos

This function is called only on initialization, it should be called more often since the zenith angle is time-dependent.

Specifically, if initializing at night, the albedo is 0.
