Luke,

The inset THTE is a profile from SFC-500MB (as per 
$GEMPAK/source/programs/gui/nsharp/xwvid5.c.

Since the only valid variables for a SKEW-T in snprof are TMPC and DWPC, to 
plot other
parameters, you will want to change PTYPE to log.

Setting PTYPE=log, you can plot a THTE profile using SNPARM=thte, and defining 
the XAXIS parameter accordingly
for your data range (in K).
