Claudia,

Not sure if I understand what you want to do, but there is a SkewT/LogP 
Function for GrADS at http://moe.met.fsu.edu/~rhart/software/skew.html
with a sample image: http://moe.met.fsu.edu/~rhart/software/skew.html#sample

Hope this helps,
Chuck

In another program (i.e., Gempak) I was able to plot a line graph of wind speed in the vertical on the left and wind barbs at selected elevations denoting wind direction on the right in the same graph.  In Grads, I am able to plot wind speed, but I have not found a way to display a vertical profile of wind direction using wind barbs or wind vectors, etc.   I would appreciate any advice.
