[GEMPAK #CYW-235722]: gdcross question



Hi Darren,

Without seeing the GDCROSS input I'm making a guess about how you went about 
this.  Did you run GDVINT to interpolate to theta levels and then run this new 
grid file through GDCROSS?

I see what you describe when I plot a linear cross-section of temperatures by 
the HGHT coordinate, though there are only 6 HGHT levels for TMPK in the GFS, 
so the scope is limited, but it does not show a surface elevation cross-section 
at the bottom, like you say.

I'm guessing that surface elevation is only designed to show for GVCORD=PRES.  
I'm looking at the source code and will see if I can get it to work with height.
