The information required is very similar to the time series model-data linkage form. However, the Group column is missing as the profile plot structure is pre-defined. One other major difference is the format of the data contained in the Data File field. Appendix B Section B-8 provides guidance on the format. This file can contain one or more snapshots in time for the same station and parameter. If the model path of the data has changed from your previous configuration, highlight the cells in the column to be changed and use the CTRL+H keystroke to search and replace part of the path to update it.

The user can press ESC during the model output loading process to abort the loading and plotting. When the data has been loaded the vertical profile plotting utility is displayed. This utility displays up to 8 model-data vertical profiles per page. The following graphic shows the toolbar functions.
