SNLIST lists upper air data from a sounding file for specified
vertical levels and stations.
INPUT PARAMETERS
SNFILE *Sounding data file
AREA *Data area
DATTIM *Date/time
SNPARM *Sounding parameter list
STNDEX *Stability indices
LEVELS *Vertical levels
VCOORD *Vertical coordinate type
OUTPUT *Output device/filename
MRGDAT *Merge data file flag/part type
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
SNLIST lists parameters derived from an upper air data set for
the requested stations and times.
Parameters which can be computed at various levels in the
data set should be specified in SNPARM. Parameters which have
a single value at the station, such as stability indices,
should be specified in STNDEX.
Any parameters which can be computed from the data set
parameters may be listed. If the vertical levels requested
are not present in the data set, the data will be interpolated
between existing levels. Data will also be interpolated to a
new vertical coordinate system, if requested.
Data from an unmerged data set can be listed without
being merged if MRGDAT is set to NO. If unmerged data
are listed, SNPARM, VCOORD and LEVELS will be ignored.
EXAMPLES
1. List at the terminal the parameters in the data set for the
station IAD at the mandatory levels. Also list the
Showalter, lifted and K indices.
SNFILE = gemdata:84dec.snd
AREA = @iad
DATTIM = 27/12
SNPARM = dset
STNDEX = show;lift;kinx
LEVELS = man
VCOORD = pres
OUTPUT = t
2. List the pressure, mixing ratio, u- and v-wind components
and the Montgomery stream function on the isentropic
surfaces from 300 to 400 degrees in 10-degree increments.
Change the station to SLO.
AREA = @slo
SNPARM = pres;mixr;uwnd;vwnd;psym
STNDEX =
LEVELS = 300-400-10
VCOORD = thta
3. List the unmerged data from IAD.
AREA = @iad
MRGDAT = no
