How to Ingest and Display GOES Satellite Data into GEMPAK
GEMPAK can display GOES Satellite Data
GEMPAK can display both AREA and GINI formatted satellite data.
How to set up your GEMPAK LDM configuration files
The GEMPAK distribution includes a template script that will have the most current
actions included. To see more information regarding this process vistit the GEMPAK documentation about this topic.
The information below is only an example of how the ldmd.conf and pqact.conf files may look. Your paths
and actions
may differ, but the information below should give a general idea on the process as well as descriptions and explanations of
some of the terms.
