Unable to switch between MU/SB/ML parcel profile

[koeleboe]

I tried to change the parcel profile from the most unstable parcel to the surface based parcel in sounding_save. However it will always show the MU parcel profile, even when specifying other parcels. Is this not yet possible or did I miss something?

EDIT: further testing shows that when using sounding_plot, it does change the parcel profile, but not in sounding_save

Hi @koeleboe ,
Could you provide some reproducible code for the issue?

Hi @bczernecki

When using the Vienna dataset, the following lines do return the correct parcel profile (ML and MU).

• sounding_plot(filename = "Vienna.png", title = "Vienna - 23 August 2011 1200 UTC", pressure, altitude, temp, dpt, wd, ws, parcel= 'ML')

• sounding_plot(filename = "Vienna.png", title = "Vienna - 23 August 2011 1200 UTC", pressure, altitude, temp, dpt, wd, ws, parcel= 'MU' )

But if you change the function to sounding_save, it will always calculate the MU cape on the skewT, even if you specify a different parcel.

• sounding_save(filename = "Vienna.png", title = "Vienna - 23 August 2011 1200 UTC", pressure, altitude, temp, dpt, wd, ws, parcel= 'MU')

• sounding_save(filename = "Vienna.png", title = "Vienna - 23 August 2011 1200 UTC", pressure, altitude, temp, dpt, wd, ws, parcel= 'ML')

To conclude, the problem only shows up when using the function "sounding_save".

@mtaszarek - could you take a look at the snippet provided?
