[gradsusr] lifted index

[Jeff Duda]

I'm not aware of one.  You'd have to compute the dry and moist adiabatic
lapse rates yourself.  However, since you are running the WRF, you could
use ARWpost and manipulate the module that computes CAPE to give you lifted
index.  Most of the hard work in computing it is already done.  You would
just need to add code to spitting out the array into a binary file.
