Re: limit to number of points in SkewT - CAPE computation

Hi all,

Just a quick note to say that we were unable to reproduce this
problem, as Jim's script started working again. He was running a great
number of soundings, so he's going to let us know if he can get the
error to happen again.

We'll keep you posted if there's any more information.
