[ncl-talk] Plotting vertical profiles from sounding data

Dear NCL-experts,

I want to:

[1] plot the vertical profile of specific humidity from sounding data.
Input file: *sounding_1.txt*.
Attached is my script: *vert_profile_shum.ncl*

I want the y-axis to be in log format but I can not plot this correctly.
The output is also not good.

I got the following warning messages:

*warning:XyPlotSetValues:xyYStyle is NhlLOG:trYMinF can't be <= 0.0:Setting
xyComputeYMin to True*

*warning:XyPlotSetValues:The Minimum Y value is <= 0.0 NhlLOG
invalid:Changing xyYStyle to NhlLINEAR*

------------------------------


[2] In addition, I have another sounding data with different pressure level
and height: *sounding_2.txt*


I want to combine the two profiles in one plot but I am not sure how to do
this.



I'll appreciate any help on this.



Sincerely,

Lyndz
