(Bulk Richardson Number) A non-dimensional number relating vertical stability and vertical
shear (generally, stability divided by shear). High values indicate unstable and/or weakly-sheared
environments; low values indicate weak instability and/or strong vertical shear. Generally, values in the range
of around 50 to 100 suggest environmental conditions favorable for supercell development.
