Hi Brendon,

AWIPS II does not have the same scripting functionality as GEMPAK at the
moment, but there are a couple of methods being developed and expanded.
The first is GEMPAK's ability to read data from a remote EDEX server (data
is converted from HDF5 to GEMPAK format internally), and the second is the
new Data Access Framework, which is essentially a Python API for reading
remote EDEX data.  Neither is robust enough to replace GEMPAK scripting at
the moment.

Hope this answers your question.
