As suggested above, check your company doc and is info only, but this might be of some help:

Shear rate: rate of change of wind velocity in knots per 1000 ft.
The higher the figure, the greater the degree of turbulence to be expected.

Windshear Severity:
There is no Windshear limit to output, and the shear rate tolerance level is up to each individual carrier standard or company policy.
No Min. nor Max. value
01 to 04 = Light Turbulence
05 to 09 = Moderate turbulence
10 and Above = Severe Turbulence

Enjoy the ride
