This merge corrects the calculation of height above ground level (AGL) that is used in the computation of the 1-km simulated radar reflectivity field in mpas_atmphys_driver_microphysics.F. Specifically, the fixes in this merge affect the refl10cm_1km and refl10cm_1km_max fields. * NSF-MPAS/physics_big_fix_zd: * In ./src/core_atmosphere//physics/mpas_atmphys_driver_microphysics.F, corrected...

This merge addresses several issues in the MPAS-Atmosphere model and in the MPAS infrastructure. Specific changes in this merge include: * Improved detection of an 'mpi_f08' module (PR #1202), as well as improved detection of netCDF and PnetCDF library paths (PR #1203), in the top-level Makefile. * The addition of a missing dependency in the physics Makefile to correct parallel build issues (PR #1204). * Fixes to the CMake build files used by MPAS-JEDI (PR #1205). * Fixes to double-precision builds of MPAS-Atmosphere (PR #1207, PR #1208). * Correction of the calculation of height AGL used in the computation of 1-km radar reflectivity fields (PR #1213). * Correction of an issue that prevented the MYNN PBL scheme from being used without also using the Thompson aerosol-aware microphysics (PR #1215). * Fixes to allow MPAS-Atmosphere to be built without physics (i.e., dynamics- only builds) (PR #1221). * Various code cleanup and minor corrections (PR #1206, PR #1212, PR #1224, PR #1226).

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.
