@tanyasmirnova @hannahcbarnes @joeolson42 @shansun5 FYI - if you have Ben's GitHub account, please tag him as well. All results will change (slightly) because Moorthi declared constants (local to physics schemes etc.) with the correct (double) precision in many schemes.

Dom, I checked the module_mp_thompson.F90, and all your changes look good to me.

Would you like me to use this code base for my retro? I am still working on getting it running correctly, so starting with this code base would not be an issue.
