The Weather Forecasting Forum

I had originally contributed to the thread on the general Digital Atmosphere help sub-forum, but the question seems more appropriate here:

I'm trying to write a script to compute and contour 700-500mb lapse rate. Here is what I have:

ANALYZE,CONT CINT=0.5 DASH COLOR=200:0:0 STOR=8 SMLC=7:-1000 ...

Thanks for the info on the SDVD function - I appreciate you testing things out! Hopefully a solution can be found...the software is otherwise quite impressive.

The script below works approximately (assumes your 700-500mb height difference is 2.6 km):

ANALYZE,CONT CINT=0.5 dash COLOR=200:0:0 STOR=4 SDVC=3:2.6 STOR=3 SDIF=1:2 STOR=2 TEMP H500 STOR=1 TEMP H700

I can't quite get it to work as I would like. We'd ideally take lapse rate as the temperature ...
