Description
Moved from #756
location_mod get_dist "! Vert distance can only be done for like vertical locations units"
why can you not calculate vertical distance between two points one with VERTISSURFACE(m) and one with VERTISHEIGHT(m)?

Research direction
Read assimilation_code/location/threed_sphere/location_mod.f90 around lines 507-509 and trace get_dist's handling of VERTISSURFACE and VERTISHEIGHT. Review the linked issue discussion to establish the intended mixed-unit behavior; done means either supporting the requested distance calculation or documenting a clear rationale for retaining the restriction.
