Dear GEMPAK enthusiasts, Please forgive me if my question is too fundamental, but it is one that was not immediately answered by a cursory view of the GEMPAK tutorials and help pages. I am a novice user of GEMPAK, and I am wondering before I go too far with GEMPAK if GEMPAK does the following simple procedure. I am looking to interpolate irregularly spaced data on a 2-dimensional Cartesian plane to a grid in the same plane. My desired interpolation technique is the Barnes objective analysis, which GEMPAK obviously uses. However, my study is rather small-scale compared to the prototypical synoptic scale studies that GEMPAK is often applied to. Because my data already exist at prescribed (x,z)=(horizontal,vertical) positions and do not concern the geometry of the earth, nor are the data at "stations", it seems at first glance that my application isn't easily suitable for GEMPAK, which cares about data in latitude/longitude format and seems to require a list of stations. Are there GEMPAK routines that I somehow glanced over that can do a quick Barnes Objective Analysis on simple Cartesian data without some convoluted procedure? If not, does anyone recommend a common software for this purpose? Thank you in advance, Chris Rozoff
