What is GARP?
"GARP (GEMPAK Analysis and Rendering Program) is an X Windows/Motif software application designed by the COMET staff for the display and analysis of meteorological data sets. Supported data sets include model data, satellite imagery in NOAAPort GINI format or MCIDAS area file format, NIDS and Nowrad radar data, surface data and upper air data.
"Architecturally, GARP is written as a GEMPAK application much like the NAWIPS applications NSAT and NWX. GARP uses Motif to create a point and click GUI (Graphical User Interface) front end to the display and analysis capabilities of GEMPAK. That is, GARP is a layer on top of the GEMPAK software package. GARP attempts to make it easy to manage, integrate and visualize multiple meteorological data sets.
"GARP was written to support the COMET Residence Program (RP). The RP provides education in mesoscale meteorology for students and instructors from around the world. To support this effort, several software packages for handling data are in use, including a meteorological display package called GEMPAK which supplies many of the processing and data display functions. Since classes are 1 to 8 weeks in length, it is necessary for COMET to have tools that are easy to learn and simple to use. GARP (GEMPAK Analysis and Rendering Program) has been designed by COMET staff as a intuitive and straightforward interface to GEMPAK to facilitate the learning experience.
