I heard an interesting definition of turbulence from an old graybeard called the coffee test.
If the turbulence was enough to cause your coffee to swill around inside the cup...that's light.
If it slops out of the cup...its moderate.
If you have whitecaps on your coffee...moderate to severe.
If you cant fine the cup..its severe
