To users of ACARS NetCDF files-

A new data field, "maximum derived equivalent vertical gust" will soon be added 
to ACARS NetCDF files being produced by the FSL Central Facility.  Consequently 
it is planned that the following paragraph be added to  our 
/public/data/acars/raw/RawAcars.cdl file immediately following the current 
entry 
for vertAccel:

        float vertGust(recNum);
                vertGust:long_name = "maximum derived equivalent vertical gust";
                vertGust:units = "meters/sec";
                vertGust:valid_range = -99.9, 99.9;
                vertGust:_FillValue = 99999.f;
