Mike,

To plot a cross section time series of upperair/profiler data, use
SNCROSS (or sncross2), such as shown at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/gempak/examples/profiler/

The CXSTNS will be a singe station, and the time range suppllied in
DATTIM.

Hi All,

I am trying to create a time series plot of some acrhived wind profiler
data.  I would like to plot wind barbs from 1000 mb to 700 mb in 1 hour
intervals.

I used SNEDIT to build a GEMPAK file containing the parameters of
interest (PRES and BRBM), and then tried using SNTSER to create the time
series plot.  I quickly found that, instead of actual wind barbs, the
program plots the integer value of BRBM.

Does anyone know of another way to create a time series windbarb plot for
the lowest ~3km of the atmosphere?

Thanks for any helpful advice you can pass along!
