[gradsusr] Question about srh1km(uVAR,vVAR) function

[Jeff Duda]

I don't use openGrads, so there may be some specifics I'm not aware of.
uVAR and vVAR are just dummy names for the u- and v-components of the
wind.  The inaccuracies are probably due to the exact specifics with how
the 0-1 km shear is computed in the script.  One big question is how is the
1 km layer wind field being computed?  Is it just 1 km MSL or 1 km AGL?
Those are things you need to find out.  I recommend asking the authors
whose email addresses are given on the linked page.
