GEMPAK Station tables
Station tables should use the following format:

(A8,1X,I6,1X,A32,1X,A2,1X,A2,1X,I5,1X,I6,1X,I5)
 ^     ^     ^      ^     ^     ^     ^     ^
 |     |     |      |     |     |     |     |
 |     |     |      |     |     |     |     --- Elevation (meters)
 |     |     |      |     |     |     --- Longitude (west = negative)
 |     |     |      |     |     --- Latitude (south = negative)
 |     |     |      |     --- Country
 |     |     |      --- State
 |     |     --- Station Name
 |     --- Station Number
 --- Station ID

Note that Latitude and Longitude are expressed in hundredths of decimal degrees (not DMS!).

Notice that stations without character identifiers have that field left blank, while stations without numbers are assigned a value of 99999.

Sites may also need to periodically update their station tables as new stations come on line. Changes to the files may be made with an ordinary text editor. The changes will take effect when the next file is created using that table.
