DESCRIPTION OF CHANGES:
Bug fix. Shortwave forcing was given linked to the wrong variable in ra_driver.
Added a warning at initialization that states that if running RRTMG, the mp_thompson_aer (option 5) should be used.
This is currently the only microphysics scheme that calculates effective radius of cloud, ice and snow
If the microphysics scheme is not option 5, RRTMG will set
effective cloud droplet radius: 10.5 micrometer
effective cloud ice radius: 30 micrometer
effective snow radius: 500 micrometer
TESTS CONDUCTED: Compiled and run a test case. Output was as expected.
