Bug fix to computation of the AGL height #1213

Closed ldfowler58 closed 1 month ago

ldfowler58 commented 2 months ago

In ./src/core_atmosphere/physics/mpas_atmphys_driver_microphysics.F, the height Above the Ground Level was improperly computed. The k index of the layer thickness needed to compute variable dz was always defined as dz_p(i,1,j) instead of dz_p(i,k,j). This bug fix corrects the calculation of zp, and therefore, that of the 1km radar reflectivity.
