Pete,

Yes....
I'm assuming you are using gridded data here.
Use the VGT(V,S) or VGE(V,S) functions to obatain
the vectors greater than, or greater or equal to a value.

These functions are defined in Section 3 of the GEMPAK manual 
under the GPARM heading.

In a surface or upper air program, you would use
SFPARM or SNPARM using the qualifier such as
sped>value.
