Task 10.1: Output aerosol diagnostics

TASK 10.1: Output the following aerosol and radiation diagnostics to the UPA output stream. You should make a new time profile to only output these on radiation timesteps. You will also need to make a new domain profile for s02i530 and s02i540

Hint
You can find the number of radiation timesteps in a 24-hour period at: um $\rightarrow$ namelist $\rightarrow$ UM Science Settings $\rightarrow$ Section 01 - 02 Radiation $\rightarrow$ Shortwave
