The Thermo Data Editor
The Thermo Data editor allows two modes of inputbelongs to a type of editor known as family editor, which allows related sets of input specifications to be grouped in the same icon editor, each in its own tabbed pane. The available input panes are:
Bufr Thermo - provides input for thermodynamic diagrams based on observation (BUFR) data.
Grib Thermo - provides input for thermodynamic diagrams based on model field (GRIB) data.
To operate with this icon first select one of the above options by clicking the appropriate menu option from the Data_Type parameter.
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 to help with the data specification. The data should be upper air sounding data (VSNS - Vertical Sounding Non-Satellite ). Please note that PILOT observations (winds only) do not have enough data for plotting a thermodynamic diagram.
