Add hygroscopicity to Species and Diagnostic variables #124

Closed pbosler closed 3 years ago

Hygroscopicity

Hygroscopicity quantifies each species' affinity for adhering to liquid water particles. It has two components: A base value that is a material property of a species, and a modal average that relates to the well-mixed assumption of species within a mode. We therefore need to add two things to Haero (and associated tests, ofc) to account for hygroscopicity.

Species' base values

Modal average values

NOTE: the formulas in the MAM Documentation are written in terms of (a) dry air and (b) molar mixing ratio (not mass mixing ratio).

Moved the second checkbox to a new issue, #143
