When trying to sample NUCAPS and modified NUCAPS soundings (via Volume > Popup SkewT) I realized that the popup SkewT only showed the actual NUCAPS profile (there was a notable peculiarity in the modified profile boundary layer that I was looking for in the popup).

I don’t think this was an error in AWIPS, because when right-clicking and selecting ‘sample cloud heights/radar skewT’, the options presented only include NUCAPS, not also modified NUCAPS. So, by my understanding, when displaying modified NUCAPS, the popup SkewT will reference the original.

This second image, perhaps, further illustrates the issue. When displaying only the modified NUCAPS on the map and selecting the profile of interest (in the FSD CWA), the sounding with the interestingly-generated inversion (I believe the subject of another blog post) displays in NsharpEditor. However, the popup SkewT profile does not, because it seems to be showing the original NUCAPS profile.
