Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! Today we are going to explore NUCAPS soundings and how to visualize, analyze, and edit them. NUCAPS (NOAA Unique Combined Atmospheric Processing System) temperature and dewpoint vertical profiles are available from polar orbiting satellites under the Upper Air > NUCAPS Soundings menu option in CAVE. These soundings are based off of satellite observations and are not dependent on any model.
