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.
With my apologies to the non-GEMPAK users on the LDM users list, there was a bit of talk recently about the replacement of GEMPAK with a Java-based AWIPS II. Gary Lackman, Chair of the Unidata Users Committee, sent an e-mail announcement concerning the Unidata User Committe meeting in April. Contained in that e-mail he referenced a link to the Users Committee status report: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/committees/usercom/2008AprMtg/statusreports/community.html Contained in that link are PDF of presentations given by Jason Tuell, NWS and Scott Jacobs, NCEP: http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/Presentations/AWIPS/AE_Overview_NCEP_v2-1.pdf http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/Presentations/AWIPS/AMS%202008%20Briefing%206A-3%20final.pdf I recommend you check out these presentations for more info on the GEMPAK(NAWIPS) replacement. Thanks to the Unidata User Committee for the updates. Robert Mullenax CSBF Meteorology CSBF/NMSU
