Hi there, You reported the following issue with our CAVE Beta through our Beta tracking form: "It would seem that Nsharp's function as it appears in v18 isn't there. Specifically, I'm looking for the function that would let me show all available soundings on a map from a specific time, as can be done in v18 (i.e. all special soundings taken at 20Z on a severe weather day). Instead, I'm only able to show the most recent soundings from a single site by using the Upper Air menu. Is this a bug, or was this how v20 was supposed to be designed? I hope Nsharp's functionality and toggle button are restored, as this made viewing soundings much easier." We just put out a new release of the Beta today (v20.3.2-0.4): https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/blogs/news/entry/unidata-awips-20-3-2 This latest release should address the issue you identified, and bring back some of the functionality that was in v18. Please let us know if you're able to upgrade CAVE and test out this improvement?
