Kevin, GEMPAK doesn't have a 3-D trajectory program, but I did create gptraj for 2-D trajectories which can be used assuming a constant level such as a theta level, pressure level, or boundary layer. I could instrument the program to calculate the change in a quantity (such as height) along the trajectory.
