subroutine windex(xpar,xmed,delog,iw)
C
C   Procedure to calculate the ionospheric weather W index
C
C   Input: xpar = NeF2  - instantaneous value of the F2 layer peak electron density 
C      or  xpar = TECi  - instantaneous value of GPS-derived total electron content
C    		 xmed = NmF2  - quiet reference (median) value of the F2 layer peak electron density
C      or	 xmed = TEC m - quiet reference (median) value of total electron content
C
C   Output: ionospheric weather W index characterizing ionospheric and plasmaspheric activity:
C           W = 0, +1 or -1 (quiet state)
C           W = +2 or -2 (moderate disturbance)
C           W = +3 or -3 (moderate storm)
C           W = +4 or -4 (intense storm)
C
C   Includes logarithmic scale indices -4,-3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3,4
C   according to thresholds of 
C           log10(xpar/xmed)=-0.999,-0.301,-0.155,-0.045,0,0.045,0.155,0.301,0.999
