Greg- AH! So I read that whole conversation between chiswell and the student and thought it meant we could go in and do additional calculations. But what you pointed out makes sense... upon re-reading it, I don't want a vertical plot. So I guess all of my questions are moot now! Thanks for clearing that up--it saved me some hair-pulling time!

Kathryn, I'm not clear what you mean by calculating at all your grid points. If you have SBCAPE, then that is CAPE using a surface-based parcel, ML is usually the first 100mb mixed-layer CAPE. gdplot2 will plot maps using an objective analysis scheme to contour the CAPE values similar to the plots/loop in the link given in another email. You can set TYPE=p to see the actual CAPE value at each grid point on a map if that is what you are trying to do. The GFUNC setting given by Chizwell was for a vertical plot such as a skew-t or cross-section but I don't think you want to do that with gdplot2. -Greg
