Via 'WhatsApp' I sent u a message I got when a friend bipped on my phone n I called back.
If what is said is true, don't feel any pressure to forward the invitation letter anymore, unless u deem it fit. I already know the kind of invitation and the kind of accommodation arranged for a couple.

God bless you always.

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

Dear users,
Does Anybody have an algorithm to calculate clear air turbulence (CAT) in
GrADS, like these variables???
