Institution: Universite du Quebec a Montreal / Atmospheric Science Group Package Version: 5.6.K Operating System: IRIX64 Hardware Information: SGI Inquiry: Hi, I have two issues in using snprof. 1- theta-e lines These pseudo-adiabats are specified in fixed increments, but the problem is that they do not coïncide with the intersection of 1000 hPa line and temperature lines, as it would be in this example skew-T : http://www.meteolafleche.com/Cours/ema.JPG How would it be possible to do that? I tried to look into the source code, but saw no obvious way to do it yet. I am still looking in the possibility of source code modifications for default behavior change. 2- Labels of theta-e and mixing ratio They are not labelled, this issue has come in the support of GEMPAK earlier, no solution yet. I did look into the code too, but found that it is even more difficult for me to figure out how to draw labels... In both case, would it be possible to get some tips on what to look for and which subroutines I could use, especially for issue #2? Thanks! Christian Pagé
