Description

It seems hard to use the tabulated albedo with just any radiation product, because they each have independent notions about what the incoming radiation should be. I feel that the `PrescribedAtmosphere` should really provide the reference value for the solar constant, rather than the albedo. Otherwise if we use idosyncratic radiation products, we have to remember to simultaneously update `TabulatedAlbedo` --- not consistent with our conviction to be "friendly" / provide an easy-to-use user interface, I think.

Research direction

Read src/OceanSeaIceModels/CrossRealmFluxes/tabulated_albedo.jl at the referenced line, then inspect how PrescribedAtmosphere currently supplies radiation-related values. Clarify whether the model should provide a solar-constant reference instead of albedo and define how TabulatedAlbedo should use it; the issue does not identify tests or a completed behavior.
