Art,

The $GARPHOME/gempak/upa_parms.c routine has always had "BLNK" in that 
position, so it is
nothing new with GEMPAK 5.10.3. There is no tendency data in the upperair 
bulletins being broadcast, 
so don't know what the developers were thinking there, but there is no 
capability to
calculate tendency. In surface data, the 3 hour pressure tendency is a reported
quantity- not one that is calculated from different times. Maybe they thought 
that some
of their case studies would use that at some point.
