Research direction

Start with the linked Process_Library.F90 implementations of BUOYANCY2 and BUOYANCY, then inspect the pyMoist entry points and the listed dependencies such as RETURN_CAPE_CIN, find_tlcl, QSAT0, QSATLQU0, and QSATICE0. Done means both buoyancy functions are ported to pyMoist and renamed to make their difference clear, with the relevant behavior preserved.
