This PR adds functionality to produce plots of snow-to-liquid ratio (SLR). The SLR field is obtained from the GRIB2 "SDEN" field (snow density, in kg m-3) using a simple conversion. Testing of this functionality has been sucessful for a RRFS-MPAS case on Jet (see figure below).
For reference, the "SDEN" code in UPP uses a diagnostic from the University of Utah. GRIB2 output of "SDEN" was added to GSL's RRFS-MPAS runs via this merged PR in UPP: NOAA-EMC/UPP@d1f6167.
