… coordinate This commit provides access to the hybrid vertical coordinate and the transition height of the coordinate through namelist variables for the init_atmosphere core. Additionally, the smoothing coefficient formula for the hybrid coordinate now uses the transition height instead of the model top height. These changes affect only the real-data construction of the vertical mesh. The changes include two new namelist configurations variables in the init_atmosphere Registry file: a logical for activating the hybrid vertical coordinate and the transition height for the coordinate (where it transitions from terrain-following to constant height). These variables are config_hybrid_coordinate (logical) and config_hybrid_top_z (real, meters). The variables had been hardwired in the code up until now (true and 30 km). Also included are a few changes to provide further information concerning diagnostic output appearing in the init_atmosphere log files.
