[gradsusr] script for moist static energy

[Jeffrey Duda]

Rashed,
The equations for moist and dry static energy are quite simple and all you
need to do to compute them is run this line:

'define dse = gravity*height + Cp*T'  (for dry static energy)
'define mse = dse + L*q'  (for moist static energy)

where "gravity" and "height" represent variables for the gravitational
constant (9.8 m/s2) and geopotential height, Cp = 1005 J/Kg*K is the heat
constant for dry air at constant pressure, T is temperature (in K), L is
heat of phase change (generally vaporization), and q is moisture quantity
(mixing ratio).

Hope this helps.
