Hi Julian,
On closer examination, there are two issues:
1. The file *must* have a ".gem" extension for it to be read. If not, you get
all sorts of strange errors ...
2. There is a problem with data that is extrapolated down to 1000 mb. Instead
of being set to "missing", temperature is set to 0.0. (Wicked inversions
result in the summer ... hehehehe)

Kevin,
Please go through the RAOB interface in the IDV. In the IDV dashboard, go to
the Data Choosers tab. Select "Observations" > "RAOB". Select the
"Sounding: Local" tab, and select and open the GEMPAK Upper Air file. (This
operation may take a few seconds before the sounding sites appear.) At this
point, you should be able to display SkewTs, hodographs, etc. as you normally
would. Please keep us up-to-date on your progress.
Best,
Unidata IDV Support
