Data (Bufr Thermo)
Specifies the data to be used in the plotting of a thermodynamic diagram from observations data. The icon field assist button provides a tailor made MARS request in case you need some guidance in the data specification. The requested data is upper air sounding data (VSNS - Vertical Sounding Non-Satellite in BUFR-speak). Please note that PILOT observations (winds only) have not enough data for plotting a thermodynamic diagram.

Specifies the data to be used in the plotting of a thermodynamic diagram from model field data. The icon field assist button provides a tailor made MARS request in case you need some guidance in the data specification. The requested data are gridded model fields : of Temperature, Logarithm of Surface Pressure and Specific Humidity. Fieldsets Temperature and Specific Humidity must have the same number of levels and they will be used to compute the Dew Point parameter . Fieldsets U and V wind components are optional, but if given they will be used to compute the wind vectors data unit. These two components must have the same number of levels, but not necessarily have the same number of levels of Temperature and Specific Humidity.
Output
Specifies the output format you want. Specify one of the geopoints formats (Geographical Points, Geographical Polar Vectors or Geographical X Y Vectors).
