Paula,
Thanks for that reference. However, I tried this, (in skewt_func.ncl):
; note, the original block is below
ypWind = skewty (pw)
xpWind = new (dimsizes(pw), float)
if (isatt(localOpts,"xpWind")) then
xpWind = skewtx (localOpts_at_xpWind , skewty(1013.) ) ; location of wind barb
else
xpWind = skewtx (45. , skewty(1013.) ) ; location of wind barb
end if
;here's where I tried to set xpWind to a new value
xpWind = 60
yet, the vertical wind profile location remained the same, but the barbs went away leaving just a vertical line.

Use the resource xpWind
; "x" location for windbarbs dataOpts_at_xpWind =42 ; default=45

All is well except that the vertical profile of wind speed and direction (wind barbs) is overlaid by the temperature/dew point temperature plot (the green and white shaded area), below 5km. My best guess is that the positioning is setup in:
