STNDEX
STNDEX is the list of stability indices or station parameters for
upper-air data. The items in the list must be separated using
semicolons. The depth for the layer averages may be specified
preceded by a ! in the user input. For example, BRCH!1000!8000
instructs the program to average over a mixed layer 1000 meters deep
and lower tropospheric layer 8000 meters deep. Similarly MLTH!750
results in an average potential temperature over a mixed layer 750
meters deep while the default is 500 meters.
