BUG: Geo-utilities Radius of Earth definition #1056

Description

@jrobrien91

Describe the bug
destination_azimuth_distance uses the Earth's equatorial radius, instead of volumetric mean radius within it's calculation. Py-ART also uses the volumetric mean radius within columnsect.py

Small bug, only 1.1m per km.

Will address in a reference PR

Additional context
Volumetric Mean Radius of Earth in km
R = 6371.0 km
