Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.
While I really don't want to see Gempak go away, I'm ranching out a bit. I've been real impressed with IDV so far, although there are several holes in it. I've also been pretty well impressed with NCL after spending this week with it almost exclusively. I've also heard more (and in a way, less, about AWIPS2 as I worked on Storm Based Warnings over the last two years. gerry Rob Dale wrote:
There's a nice presentation on it from late last year http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/committees/usercom/2007OctMtg/TuellJune2007Partners.ppt And one from NCEP presented in the fall: http://www.ecmwf.int/newsevents/meetings/workshops/2007/MOS_11/presentations_files/Schotz.pdf I don't see the words going away in there, I just think that 1) it's an unknown entity right now and 2) might be more complex than just downloading a new binary so 3) if you want to be sure you can read GEMPAK files in 10 years, you=92ll be safe with IDV
