Note that you can still drag any valid Contouring icons you may have into the Display Window when visualising a cross section. For instance, apply the given shade icon. You may want to customise it and try different configurations.

The Vertical Profile View    

...

Create a new Average View icon. Visualise it and drop the t_an.grib icon into the Display Window. A default meridional average over the globe cross-section is generated. Experiment with this icon in a similar way to how you did with the Cross Section View icon.

You can use a Contouring icon, e.g. the shade icon, to style the contours of the plotting.

...

Experiment with this icon by testing the above types and investigating other input parameters. Type Vertical Hovm requires the following input GRIB data: t_ts_nlevels.grib. Examine and compare this GRIB data with the previous one.

As previously, you can use a Contouring icon to style the contours of the plotting.

The Thermo View   Image Added

This icon is a plotting specification for Thermodynamic diagram plots from a suitable GRIB or BUFR data source. In such a diagram, temperature, humidity (represented by the dew point) and wind values are displayed with respect to pressure.

Create a new Thermo View icon. Visualise it and drop the tquv_pl.grib icon into the Display Window. A default diagram related to a geographical location [0,0] long is generated.

Inspect the GRIB icon (right-click on it and choose examine) to see the type of input data this view requires. Fields Temperature  and Specific Humidity are mandatory 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. If the data is given in model levels then a Logarithm of Surface Pressure field must be provided too in order to convert them to pressure levels fields.

 Note that only the Tephigram diagram is currently available, although there are other types of thermodynamic diagrams, such as Skew-T, Emagram and Stuve.
