I am glad it looks like the death sentence for GEMPAK/N-AWIPS was lifted. It is an amazing piece of software when coupled with LDM and really also McIDAS. You can go anywhere in the world with a decent Internet connection with fairly pedestrian desktop machine and with just LDM and maybe some wget and McIDAS scripts have you a full blown weather workstation.. ________________________________________ From: gembud-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [gembud-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] on behalf of Pettee, Warren [wpettee@xxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2014 8:45 AM To: Gerry Creager - NOAA Affiliate Cc: gembud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [gembud] AWIPS/N-AWIPS Bridging the Gap? Gerry, We looked into getting AWIPS II, but the RAM requirements were well out of our range right now. We weren't sure if we could get away with less since the requirements could be set for the standard NWS three-display workstation . -Warren Warren Pettee Undergraduate - Meteorology Department of Geography and Earth Sciences University of North Carolina at Charlotte 9201 University City Blvd, Charlotte, NC 28223 wpettee@xxxxxxxx ________________________________ From: Gerry Creager - NOAA Affiliate <gerry.creager@xxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 24, 2014 9:38 AM To: Pettee, Warren Cc: gembud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: [gembud] AWIPS/N-AWIPS Bridging the Gap? With wide distribution of AWIPS-II on the (event?) horizon, and with NWS and the National Centers all going toward AWIPS-II, and speaking as someone who doesn't use it operationally at all, I'm not sure bridging the differences are a priority any more. I understand that Gempak will continue to hang around (a good thing, in my mind) but I'd concentrate on learning and using AWIPS-II. There are folks on here who've got more informed, and more official opinions. Hopefully they'll comment. gerry On Thu, Jul 24, 2014 at 7:36 AM, Pettee, Warren <wpettee@xxxxxxxx<mailto:wpettee@xxxxxxxx>> wrote: Hi all, I was just curious, has anyone ever attempted to bridge the functionality gap that exists between N-AWIPS and AWIPS? Mainly functions provided by D2D and LAPS that are not readily available in N-AWIPS. I'm still warming up to the abilities of GEMPAK, so I could be missing something in my argument here.
