Improving references of methods in Py-ART

[zssherman]

Mentioned by users as well as digging through the code from years ago. Looking into adding better reference to journals etc to methods. Working on qpe methods at the moment.

[mgrover1]

Let's put a checklist together for this!

[mgrover1]

@zssherman are there any remaining references that need to be added?

[jrobrien91]

I can keep a list of missing/needed references as I go through PyART getting more familiar with the package.

[mgrover1]

@jrobrien91 could you share that list here? That would be super helpful!!

[zssherman]

@mgrover1 I'm not sure, alot of the older code I need to still go through. I opened this to kinda address them as they popped up as well.
