      !!                ***  ROUTINE lim_thd_dif  ***
      !! ** Purpose :
      !!           This routine determines the time evolution of snow and sea-ice 
      !!           temperature profiles.
      !! ** Method  :
      !!           This is done by solving the heat equation diffusion with
      !!           a Neumann boundary condition at the surface and a Dirichlet one
      !!           at the bottom. Solar radiation is partially absorbed into the ice.
      !!           The specific heat and thermal conductivities depend on ice salinity
      !!           and temperature to take into account brine pocket melting. The 
      !!           numerical
      !!           scheme is an iterative Crank-Nicolson on a non-uniform multilayer grid 
      !!           in the ice and snow system.
      !!
      !!           The successive steps of this routine are
      !!           1.  Thermal conductivity at the interfaces of the ice layers
      !!           2.  Internal absorbed radiation
      !!           3.  Scale factors due to non-uniform grid
      !!           4.  Kappa factors
      !!           Then iterative procedure begins
      !!           5.  specific heat in the ice
      !!           6.  eta factors
      !!           7.  surface flux computation
      !!           8.  tridiagonal system terms
      !!           9.  solving the tridiagonal system with Gauss elimination
      !!           Iterative procedure ends according to a criterion on evolution
      !!           of temperature
      !!
      !! ** Arguments :
      !!           kideb , kiut : Starting and ending points on which the 
      !!                         the computation is applied
      !!
