Allow for user-configurable physical constants
For planetary atmospheres other than Earth's, physical constants like the gravitational acceleration and the planetary radius will be different. To accommodate results from simulations of these atmospheres, aospy
will need a mechanism to allow users to set these constants themselves (rather than have them be hard-coded to Earth's values).

This is a particular example of the broader issue of supporting user-specified config, c.f. #145. But I think it's worth having this separate issue to track this, as #145 is pretty open ended.
Right, I see #145 as more global configuration-type stuff; this is likely to vary from Run
to Run
or Model
to Model
, so it might require a different approach.
