Unidata's GEMPAK/NAWIPS Migration Information

The National Weather Service (NWS) announced plans in 2007 to cease development of GEMPAK/NAWIPS in August 2008 and proceed with a migration of the functionality of that package to the new AWIPS II environment. This page is intended to provide information to the Unidata community on the migration.

The UPC is most interested in your thoughts on this matter and invites community input. Please send your comments, concerns, or suggestions to nawipsmigration@unidata.ucar.edu.
