Paul, If your sounding data is on pressure levels, you probably want SNPARM = PRES;TEMP;DWPT;DRCT;SPED;HGHT this is the snmerg.pack file: PRES .1 1050. .1 TEMP -127. 63. .1 DWPT -63. 63. .1 DRCT 0. 360. 1. SPED 0. 126. .1 HGHT 0. 65534. 1. If you send me a sample of your ascii input file, I'd be happy to give it a test here.
