[IDV #KPC-692192]: Calculate Potential Temperature



Hi Greg-

I just did this from the NAM 12km data we have on motherlode.  

When you load up that dataset, you should see a Derived field
for Potential Temperature under 3D grid->Temperature->Derived

Note with this high resolution a dataset, the calculation is
compute intensive.

Is your grib file Grib 1 or 2?  Does it have a pressure vertical
dimension?  We need that for the calculation.  Are you getting
an error, or do you just want to know how to do this?
