A query on chop

Can anyone advise what measure is used to indicate severity of turbulence.

Trvelled DUB to MRS (21.44) last night 01 Aug and probably south of Lyon we went through a rough patch. Certainly not a nervous pax and fly 50 k plus a year but the roughest I experienced in say 10 years. Beaufort scale to describe wind speed but I am curious is there a similar scale of 1 to something to describe turbulence. Many thanks for any feedback.
