[gradsusr] Determining the max temp in a vertical layer.

[Stephen McMillan]

Mike,

I also meant to add that to get the max temp in the previous example:

'd max(tmpprs,lev=1000,lev=500)'

This should return the max temp in the layer, corresponding to the max
level found with "maxloc".

Refer to http://grads.iges.org/grads/gadoc/gradfuncmax.html

Good luck--
Stephen Mc
