[IDV #FZG-160095]: unable to plot skewt from NCEP Reanalysis data



Hi Alan.

The problem is that those field names are not standard (in the IDV) so you will 
have to alias them to have the IDV recognize them. To alias a variable, 
right-click on the field, and choose an alias. Once you have created an alias 
for all your fields, reload the data by right-clicking on the data source (in 
the very left part of the field selector panel). Now under the derived fields, 
you should see the sounding data.
