Python Skew_T

November 21 to 23, 2012 was a downslope windstorm that affected the Wasatch Front from Salt Lake City to Ogden. I helped launch several weather balloons during the event from the Bountiful Bench, right below the "B" on the mountain. Anyways, I wanted to use Python to plot the data on a Skew-T, Log-P chart. I don't claim to be the best programmer. In fact, the basics often slip my mind. After sifting through several different scripts on the internet I found this one, and modified it to make it work. There is a better way to do this, so I'll figure out how to do that someday. I'd like to put wind barbs on the side as well. Wind speeds are important to these soundings, especially when you want to study the downslope windstorms.
