  4. Draw a hodograph (SNHODO) for a sounding station. Try using pressure and height as the vertical coordinates. Try specifying LEVELS as ALL, MAN, and a range or list of values.

  5. Plot a time series (SNTSER) of pressure at the surface for the sounding station at Atlantic City, NJ (ACK) during Hurricane Bob on August 17-21, 1991.
