Remove base_mesh dependencies in compute_sample_u_ops kernel #312
Description
Are there any linked Issues or Pull Requests?
Brief description
the compute_sample_u_ops kernel has some dependencies on the base_mesh namelist, in particular the geometry parameter. This causes some limitation in what applications can use this kernel, for example lfric2lfric. Removal of base_mesh dependencies by more flexible code is something that has been done in the past, but clearly this task is not complete.
Further details of the issue.
base_mesh is here used in this kernel to determine if the mesh is planar or spherical. The mesh object already has functions to check the geometry type, which should be used here.
