[gradsusr] A GrADS scripts that calculates moisture convergence

[Jeffrey Duda]

Without having relative humidity, dewpoint, vapor pressure, or water vapor
mixing ratio at a level in your data, there isn't much you can do with
moisture convergence.  The only thing you can do with total column water
(which I assume is the same thing as precipitable water), is compute the
column total or column average moisture convergence, but that doesn't seem
to be useful.
