[ncl-talk] Writing Skew-T Data to csv File

Hi Guido,

Thanks for your response.  I want to plot the skew-T because I am using
this RUC data to represent a storm inflow region, and I want to ensure that
the location I'm using for that inflow is not contaminated from nearby
storms or other features.  Viewing the actual skew-T is the easiest and
quickest way to do this.  So I want to continue plotting it the way it is
set up in my code.  (I had help from this forum already with that, and it
works very well.)  Therefore, I don't think the way your example is written
will work for my code.

Thanks,

Michelle
