Implementation of street trees within the solar radiative exchange parameterization of TEB in SURFEX v8.0

The Town Energy Balance (TEB) model has been refined and improved in order to explicitly represent street trees and their impacts on radiative transfer: a new vegetated stratum on the vertical plane, which can shade the road, the walls, and the low vegetation has been added.
