[IDV #AXY-187868]: raw data on RAOB?

Hi Marcus,
Attached is a jython script. Add it to your jython library:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/tools/Jython.html

The routine is called printSoundings. It writes out each field (temp,td,winds) 
as a separate 2 column listing with the pressure/height X value.

Bring up the jython shell:
http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/tools/JythonShell.html
set a variable to the sounding data:
     sounding = selectData("Sounding Data")
print out the sounding:
     printSoundings(sounding)

You could also create a formula that calls printSoundigs
