MXSHR: ## /ks

What is the /ks?

So use to Baron still! LOL

 

[David Drummond]

knots per second? Actually I think it's just knots.

A quick google gives up this:

MXSHR is the maximum shear—the maximum at all elevation scans of the quantity gate-to-gate velocity difference divided by the diameter of the TVS.

I'd also be willing to bet that one of the Research Mets might chime in and help educate us on this.

I have this feeling from the old days in the classroom that it's kilometers per second.

It means "per thousand seconds"

aka - actual term doesn't matter ;> Kilometers per second would be "km/s" and knots per second "kt/s" (the position of the / is important)
