Hi Brian,

I just added a new function in the derived grid factory to do what you 
described here.

DerivedGridFactory.createEPTFromSpecificHumidity(temperFI, pressFI, spFI)

I tested this on the NAM40 that is the dataset I can find with all three fields 
in 2D.  Please
download the nightly and test your dataset. No guarantee and let me know if you 
see the error.
