  !> Sets the density, temperature, gravity and magnetic field attributes of
  !! the respective fields to a realistic solar atmosphere profile.
  !! This routine first interpolates the temperature and numberdensity table at
  !! <tt>n_interp</tt> resolution, then solves the following ODE for the density:
  !! $$ \rho'(x) = -\frac{T'(x) + g(x)}{T(x)}\rho(x) -
  !!               \frac{B_{02}(x)B'_{02}(x) + B_{03}(x)B'_{03}(x)}{T(x)} $$
  !! using a fifth order Runge-Kutta method.
  !! If the optional argument <tt>save_to</tt> is provided then the density profiles
  !! are saved to that file, which can be loaded back in on subsequent runs through
  !! the optional argument <tt>load_from</tt>. The integration is done over the entire
  !! table, the curve is sampled on the Gaussian grid, meaning that grid variations
  !! can all use the same result.
  !! @warning   Throws an error if the geometry is not Cartesian. @endwarning
