[gradsusr] Maximum Winds

[Jeffrey Duda]

'd maxloc(mag(ugrd,vgrd),lev=1000,lev=850)' will give you the z level of
maximum wind speed.  If your pressure levels are in 25 mb increments, then
the pressure level is just 1025 - 25*Z, where Z is the maxloc and it is
assumed your lowest pressure level is at 1000 mb.
