RE: 20060608: GEMPAK file into NSHARP

Dave / Jim,

Your data file does not have the wind SPED and DRCT parameters.
The NSHARP routines for observed soundings expect the data to
follow the $GEMTBL/pack/snmerg.pack content for parameters.

I modified your data file to:
SNPARM = PRES;HGHT;TMPC;DWPC;SPED;DRCT
 
STID = JAX      STNM =  72206       TIME = 000501/1200
SLAT = 30.43    SLON = -81.70       SELV =  10.0
 
     PRES     HGHT     TMPC     DWPC     SPED     DRCT
  1021.00    10.00     8.20     8.20 -9999.00 -9999.00
  1014.00    67.00    12.20    12.20 -9999.00 -9999.00
  1000.00   186.00    19.20     8.20 -9999.00 -9999.00

   300.00  9490.00   -41.50   -71.50 -9999.00 -9999.00

   157.00 13610.00   -62.70   -72.70 -9999.00 -9999.00
   150.00 13880.00   -64.90   -75.90 -9999.00 -9999.00
   145.00 14085.00   -66.50   -77.50 -9999.00 -9999.00
   113.00 15601.00   -63.50   -81.50 -9999.00 -9999.00
   100.00 16350.00   -65.90   -84.90 -9999.00 -9999.00

I was then able to plot the data in NSHARP.
