PR summary
If atm_delta is significantly smaller than the finest-level resolution, the peak temperature gets reset to T_star instead of T_hi, and the hot and cool zones end up with the same temperature profiles.
PR motivation
I'm not entirely sure how it happens, and it's probably fixable, but we shouldn't be doing any actual runs with such a low resolution anyways. I only ran into this when I was using a single level for local testing.
