Hi Gembuds-
Hope you all are well!
I found an email on the unidata website between Steve Chiswell and a
student trying to calculate cape/cin in gdprof. Chiswell gives him
help and also alludes to the fact that "You can use ... GDPLOT2 to
display CAPE over an area of points." (The email can be found at:
<http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/gempak/msg05249.html>http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/help/MailArchives/gempak/msg05249.html)
So with that in mind, has anyone successfully done it? GDPLOT2 is
not quite GDPROF and the discrepancies are challenging to say the
least. I have gdplot2 reading the file just fine and apparently
calculating some value... but when I display it, it is a solid
color-filled field. The cape function (GDPFUN =
cape(<mailto:pres@100%zagl,zagl@100%zagl,tmpc@100%zagl,dwpc@100%zagl>pres@100%zagl,zagl@100%zagl,tmpc@100%zagl,dwpc@100%zagl))
seems like the culprit as <mailto:zagl@100%zagl>zagl@100%zagl seems
strange. But when you take that part out, it doesnt compute...
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks in advance for the help! :)
