This commit pertains to a series of modifications that clean up
to currently existing isobaric diagnostics interpolation. The
existing diagnostics comprise a number of variables at individual
pressure levels (e.g., temperature_200hPa) and thus require a significant
amount of hard-coding.
This modified version reduces (but does not eliminate) the need for
hard-coding by prescribing a list of isobaric levels to which the
variables are commonly interpolated, leading to variables of the form
e.g., temperature_isobaric. These variables are also connected to a
diagnostic package and namelist config option (config_isobaric = .true.)
to make it easier for users to toggle on their calculation at runtime.
The specific changes include:
- Adding an isobaric package to Registry.xml
- Adding the config_isobaric namelist option to Registry_diagnostics.xml
- Connecting the package variables to the namelist config option in a new script,
mpas_atm_diagnostics_packages.F, which is called in mpas_atm_core_interface.F
- Updating Registry_isobaric.xml to remove the highly specific variables and
replace them with more generalizable variables, such as temperature_isobaric
- Updating Registry.xml to change the default diagnostics stream variables
- Updating mpas_isobaric_diagnostics.F with the interpolation of the new
generalizable variables and removal of the old variables
- Adding halo groups 'isobaric:pressure_p' and 'isobaric:vorticity' to
mpas_atm_halos.F and removing the previous halo field exchanges from
mpas_isobaric_diagnostics.F
- Updating mpas_atm_diagnostics_manager.F to include the halo exchange
and config input arguments to the isobaric subroutine calls
- Updating mpas_atm_core.F to include the halo exchange input arguments
to mpas_atm_diag_compute()
Added package associations to `mslp` and `meanT_500_300`
Further cleaned up the script by defining subroutines for each interpolation procedure (cell centers on mass levels, vertices on mass levels, and cell centers on w levels) and for the temperature and dewpoint calculations.
Fixed division by 100. for garbage cell. Pressure is already in hPa.

This pull request includes a series of modifications that clean up the existing isobaric diagnostics interpolation code.
The existing isobaric diagnostics procedure comprises a number of variables at individual, specific pressure levels (e.g.,
temperature_200hPa) and thus includes a significant amount of hard-coding, making it more tedious for users to modify.This modified version reduces (but does not eliminate) the need for hard-coding by prescribing a list of isobaric levels to which the variables are commonly interpolated, leading to variables of the form, e.g.,
temperature_isobaric. These variables are also connected to anisobaricdiagnostic variable package and namelist config options (config_isobaric = .true.) to make it easier for users to toggle on their calculations at runtime.Note: These additions of variable packages and namelist config options for the diagnostics procedures will be also applied in upcoming pull requests that include significant modifications and additions to the existing PV diagnostics package. The modified PV diagnostics package will also include features that extend the modified isobaric diagnostics code included here.
