Re: Plotting isobaric surface in 3D

Bill's response bounced because of the attachments.  I've
posted these in the IDV gallery with the bundle:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/gallery#model_data

(last one before Observation examples).

I also added another movie and bundle that Bill created showing
temperature anomalies from the standard atmosphere (second one
in the Quicktime Movies section).

Thanks, Bill.

As a side note, we are going to revamp our gallery in the coming
months so we can post more user examples, plugins and bundles.
Stay tuned!

I like Tom's "the proof is left to the reader as a simple exercise" for putting other fields on this. (Hint: use the Any Field formula, select one of the other 3D Surface "* over topography" displays) and use your 3D Pressure Surface formula 2 twice - once for topography (Z) and once for the Any Field field. Contours and color shaded displays should work fine. A simple first one is to plot contours of Z on Z so you have a 3D topo map. When you've completed the "simple exercise", please share with the list.
