Turner stability class

The Turner stability class or Turner stability index is a classification of atmospheric stability over an interval of time based on measurements of surface-level wind speed and net solar radiation. Classes range from 1 to 7. The Turner stability class system was devised by D. B. Turner as a modification of the Pasquill stability class system.
The following table is used to determine the Turner stability class for a given wind speed and net solar radiation:
The net radiation index is determined by following a procedure that takes into account the cloud cover, ceiling height, and solar altitude.
