Interpret ice cloud properties as layer properties (this is the default behaviour since version 1.4; see also ic_file). Cloud properties are assumed to be constant within each layer. The layer reaches from the level where the properties are defined in the ic_file to the level above. For example, the following lines
#      z     IWC    R\_eff
#     (km)  (g/m$$^3$$) (um)    
      4.000   0.0   0.0
      3.000   1.0  10.0
define a cloud in the layer between 3 and 4 km with sharp boundaries.
