A Time/Height Display is a display of samples of a 3D parameter along a vertical profile line from top to bottom of the available data, with time as the independent coordinate (X-axis). Dependent on the field used in the display, available display options include Contour, Color Shaded, Flow, and Wind Barb Time/Height Displays. Note that the options in the Layer Controls will differ dependent on the field used to create the display.
