Does this mean that we can only plot for RAOB locations or can we plot for any lat lon point available in the dataset? I thought we could just replace that "geom = POINT (... , ...)" line with an appropriate lat lon location and then "fool" it into getting the data from that location instead of OAX. I don't believe that we could use the specific humidity for the vapor pressure. The linked sounding (AWIPS 2 Cave) here is the same as you had in the example posted (KOAX, July 13, 12Z). https://drive.google.com/a/ucar.edu/file/d/0BwAYX88KH9wDSVd2dUNPWWEyckU/view?usp=sharing It didn't look to me like these were the same. Thanks for the quick response.
