[AWIPS #ERG-749176]: Question about the GFE

Hello,

Thanks for your inquiry. There is limited functionality with GFE within the 
Unidata build of AWIPS. Currently it is only set up to work with the OAX 
(Omaha, NE) localization. I'm not sure what exactly they are looking to do with 
simulations, but we do not have any functionality to run simulations through 
GFE, only realtime data. I'm also not sure about cooperating with different 
offices since we only have GFE set up for one. If you'd like we can work with 
someone at the St. Louis office and possibly set up a small local EDEX with the 
St. Louis GFE configurations or further work to get something working for your 
lecture.

 
Thanks,

Tiffany Meyer
