Matt, Garp currently hardcodes the yaxis in gui/upaprofcb.c to: yaxis = strdup ("///;1"); In otherwords, it uses the GEMPAK default which yields 1020/100. You could change this in the source code following the SNPROF variable YAXIS format- its just not readily changeable from within the program. Nsharp really hardcodes the drawing of the skew-t, so that won't be easy to change. Having two soundings for the same time/location isa problem that I don't have any other solution for Of course, you have total control of YAXIS using SNPROF, as well as setting the station so that you don't have to go through a point and click.
