[LDM #DCZ-830103]: decoding the raw GTS datasets

["Unidata LDM Support" <support-ldm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ratna,

re:

We have three options for decoding data available in NOAAPort (NOAAPort contains
a lot of data from the GTS):

GEMPAK           <- GEMPAK has decoders that convert data to formats it needs
McIDAS           <- Unidata McIDAS has decoders that convert data to formats it needs
netCDF Decoders  <- a variety of decoders that convert data to netCDF output

> Please help me in this regard positively.

Not knowing what you will use to analyze the data after it is decoded, I would think
that the netCDF decoders might be of most help to you.  Please read through the
information on these decoders on our website:

> Thankyou.

No worries.

Cheers,
