Should z be z - z_sfc for most places in this PR?

Yup - including an adjustment for surface elevation here: 77 h_boundary_layer = Spaces.level(ᶜz[colidx], level)[] > Currently testing this in the bomex_box_rhoe.jl offline.

Thanks Akshay! This mostly looks good. I left a few comments.

I just thought a bit more about this. If we use this version of vertical diffusion with bulk surface fluxes (DefaultExchangeCoefficient), it is somewhat inconsistent and may cause problems. For example, for stable regime we will have zero vertical diffusion but still strong surface fluxes (as the drag coefficient is fixed). Not sure if it will become unstable, but it may have some effect on the large-scale circulation. We can either keep both options, or use monin obukhov whenever we use vertical diffusion (but we should keep a test for bulk surface fluxes).

LGTM, @akshaysridhar. Just a few small comments!

I agree the C should be consistent, but may it be still beneficial to keep this formulation for the initial testing? Also, in the case of wanting to have a continuous diffusivity between the value derived from SurfaceFluxes.jl and the interior, I'm getting an extra \kappa factor in eqn 19 of Frierson. Maybe it's easier to talk offline about this.... Just discussed with @akshaysridhar this is consistent, as long as we use the MOST coefficient as in Byun 1990, already in SF.jl) , and that we could implement a test showing consistency between the surface flux and the implied diffusive flux at the surface.

This branch as/frierson-refactor supersedes this PR content following the changes in #2404. I'll rebase once the current long-runs are complete.

@sriharshakandala Can you please take a look at the modifications to theperf/flame.jl file before we add this to the merge queue ?

Let's change the current aquaplanet without edmf to FriersonDiffusion and please feel free to merge it.
