That's more on the feeding and care of Skew-T diagrams. He seems
to be looking for algorithms. So:

AWS/TR-83/001
Equations and Algorithms for Meteorological Applications in Air Weather
Service

Lots more than just thermodynamic algorithms.

Try:

AWS/TR-79/006
"The use of the Skew-T, Log P diagram in analysis and forecasting"

This is an Air Force manual (a good one too) that is approved for
public release.
