Bulk Richardson Number #628

Description

@jrleeman

Add a calculation for the Bulk Richardson Number with comparison to GEMPAK.

From Wikipedia (cite Stull or Garratt)

Below is the formula for the BRN. Where g is gravitational acceleration, Tv is 
absolute virtual temperature, Δθv is the virtual potential temperature 
difference across a layer of thickness Δz (vertical depth), and ΔU 
and ΔV are the changes in horizontal wind components across
that same layer.
