The geographic regions containing SKEWT plots are highlighted in blue. Regions not containing SKEWT plots are in gray. Select the desired region.

The display of Skew-T plots available can be listed in a table rather than on a map. When the user chooses a desired cycle, click on the hypertext link “Display Table of Stations” to get a list of stations (as shown below) instead of the regional map with red dots representing the various stations. The user can click on the station code to view the Skew-T plot.
