If, i have spectrum width data of particular place using spectrum width how i can plot the graph or theory for that to identify turbulence.

Unfortunately, without more information here, we cannot help. I would encourage you to check out the NOAA RAC course, which includes radar fundamentals training

I can’t guarantee it will work, but this package has some turbulence calculations: [GitHub - nasa/PyTDA: Python Turbulence Detection Algorithm (PyTDA)](https://github.com/nasa/PyTDA)
