Wind sheer and lapse rates layers

[Mandy Lindsay]

This would be really helpful

Hi @Mandy-Lindsay

I will discuss this with my colleagues, might be a good addition. What is your use case for that and what do you use today for wind sheer?

[Mandy Lindsay]

@David-Polášek Id like to use it to see thunderstorm development and supercell potential

Today i use wind at different wind heights but its not perfect and harder to calculate

@David-Polášek I agree sir it would be a great addition

@Mandy-Lindsay

Yes, it would be really useful for thunderstorms.

Hey all @mandy-lindsay @michele7 @hardikp

You got me. We'll do a deep dive to implement this layer. Some models have this as a product. In other cases, it seems we can calculate the layer based on known metrics.

Once I have any new info, I'll get back to you.
