19990713: ACARS programs
- Subject: 19990713: ACARS programs

Steve,
The code uses the NetCDF 3.x API.
You should set the max size to match whatever is defined in your
distribution. This is because when the write_gempak.c routine
passes the data array which is dimmensioned as maxtim*maxprm
in your gemlib.a routines, you don't want to step on that space.
This change is only needed for the decoder. After that, you will
be using your own gemlib.a routines for Nsharp or acprof which
use MMHDRS in the array size definitions which will use your gemprm.OS
file.
I have found that there are occasionally 1800 observations every 10
minutes, which can exceed 10000 observations in an hour. For MMHDRS
less than 10,000 you will have more trouble using hourly files.
uotputting minute files is possible but would be tough to use, so there is
probably a need in dcacars to create 10,20,30 minute binned files like I
have with our lightning decoder. Certainly 30 minute files would work
for me, but if your MMHDRS is less than 5000, then this could really be
painful.
Attatched is my Makeinc.common. Note that NA_OS is defined from my
Gemenviron script as:
hpux, sol, linux, x86, irix, osf, aix, and others...
Makeinc.common includes Makeinc.$NA_OS, so I'll send you a copy
of Makeinc.hpux also. My hpux is 11.0 which has different locations for
X11 and Motif...but it will show you my BRIDGE_DEF defines as well
as the NETCDF defines in common.

# This file is included in most of the Makefiles for GEMPAK 5.2.
# (In GEMPAK version 5.1, this file was called Gemmake.incl.)
# It defines the paths and filenames for the various libraries and
# executables. This file replaces the need to specify the location
# of the libraries as environment variables.
#
# You must edit most of this file to match the configuration of your
# operating system. There will be directions at each section below.
#
# The following shell environment variables *MUST* be defined before
# invoking this Makefile:
#
# $NAWIPS - points to the toplevel of the NAWIPS directory tree.
# $GEMPAK and $GEMPAKHOME - points to the toplevel of the gempak part
# of the NAWIPS tree. Usually directly under $NAWIPS.
#
# $OS - Used in NAWIPS for #ifdef OS statements in code. Also
# used by the Makefiles to bring in OS specific sections
# of the Makefile (ie. like include Makeinclude.$(OS).
#
# $NA_OS - Used in $(NAWIPS)/config/Makeinc.common to decide which
# OS specific Makeinc.* to include. It also cooresponds
# to the directories in the NAWIPS tree where the executables
# and libraries are installed.
