Description

Many of the routines (storm relative helicity, updraft helicity, cape_2d) do not work on idealized test case simulations (tested with em_quarter_ss simulation).

Research direction

Start by reproducing the issue with the em_quarter_ss idealized simulation and inspect the storm relative helicity, updraft helicity, and cape_2d routines. Determine why these diagnostics fail on idealized WRF test cases; done means the named routines work for that simulation without breaking existing cases.
