By all accounts last month's data workshop organized in collaboration with the University of Sao Paulo, and the Brazilian Meteorological Society (SBMET), was a resounding success. Attendees numbered about 50, plus or minus one or two, and their enthusiasm kept many of them sticking around until after its completion on Saturday evening August 23rd. Graphic confirmation of that enthusiasm is shown in the image below that shows learners participating in a hands-on IDV tutorial session. more >

GEMPAK NAWIPS Functionality
Note: Additional information about this topic is available in the news archive.
Below is information that the Unidata Users Committee has compiled about functionalities not currently available in IDV, but desirable to add to it. GEMPAK will remain available for the indeterminate future, but at some point, sites will have to migrate from GEMPAK to another package. It is important that the community identify critical functionalities of the current GEMPAK software that must be retained (or enhanced) in future incarnations of AWIPS-II, IDV, or other packages. Which capabilities could be handled by IDV, and which would not make sense to roll into IDV? Which functionalities are most critical to the user community?
The following features are available in the Unidata NAWIPS suite. It includes a set of programs that use data in GEMPAK format, and in most cases, use GEMPAK programs to manipulate and display data. These programs include NMAP2, NSHARP, GARP, and GEMPAK.
See a list is of functionalities requested by users thus far. It is not prioritized. If you have thoughts on how to prioritize it, or you have items you’d like to add, please share them in the NAWIPS Migration forum: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/forums/forum.jspa?forumID=21
