Hello Matt.
I would like to know if you have the algorithm to calculate these vars in
GrADS????

CATaveprs   6,100  0,19,22,0 ** (400 350 300 250 200 150) Clear Air
Turbulence (CAT) [%]
CATmaxprs   6,100  0,19,22,2 ** (400 350 300 250 200 150) Clear Air
Turbulence (CAT) [%]
CBHEclm   0,10,0   0,6,25 ** entire atmosphere Horizontal Extent of
Cumulonimbus (CB) [%]
CTPaveprs   6,100  0,19,21,0 ** (700 600 500 400 300) In-Cloud Turbulence[%]
CTPmaxprs   6,100  0,19,21,2 ** (700 600 500 400 300) In-Cloud Turbulence[%]
ICAHTcbb   0,11,0   0,3,3 ** cumulonimbus base ICAO Standard Atmosphere
Reference Height [m]
ICAHTcbt   0,12,0   0,3,3 ** cumulonimbus top ICAO Standard Atmosphere
Reference Height [m]
ICIPaveprs   6,100  0,19,20,0 ** (800 700 600 500 400 300) Icing [%]
ICIPmaxprs   6,100  0,19,20,2 ** (800 700 600 500 400 300) Icing [%]

Regards,

Wilheim.
