'''
Function to generate thermodynamic indices.
Function returns nothing, but sets the following
variables:
self.k_idx - K Index, a severe weather index
self.pwat - Precipitable Water Vapor (inches)
self.lapserate_3km - 0 to 3km AGL lapse rate (C/km)
self.lapserate_3_6km - 3 to 6km AGL lapse rate (C/km)
self.lapserate_850_500 - 850 to 500mb lapse rate (C/km)
self.lapserate_700_500 - 700 to 500mb lapse rate (C/km)
self.convT - The Convective Temperature (F)
self.maxT - The Maximum Forecast Surface Temp (F)
self.mean_mixr - Mean Mixing Ratio
self.low_rh - low level mean relative humidity
self.mid_rh - mid level mean relative humidity
self.totals_totals - Totals Totals index, a severe weather index
