Although I find GARP much easier to configure and to use I finally had to just switch us over to NMAP2 exclusively. GARP just had too many random crashes like you are seeing as time went on and newer GEMPAK versions were released..

Robert and Evan, Thanks for the excellent resources! These backup Gempak files could come in quite handy. Unfortunately, a quick and simple replacement of the Gempak file didn't solve my GARP-crashing problem this time. I don't believe we have NMAP2 installed, but I may need to investigate.

One reason Unidata stopped support of GARP was instability. In my experience, especially GARP built on Linux. It could be GARP is the problem.

Hello Gembud list, While our reception of satellite and model data are good here at NPS, GARP crashes upon request for surface or upper air observations. We've noticed this problem, intermittently for the last week or so. If a particular day is unavailable, data for the following day, starting at 0000 UTC, can sometimes be fine, which seems to suggest that once a particular day's gempak file is "corrupted", it is completely corrupted for the entire day. Does anyone know of a common cause of this problem? If it is a problem caused by just a single bad datum point, is it possible to "surgically" remove the offending point from the .gem file? Is there a way to search the 'dcmetr.log' file to find the culprit? What would I usually search for? (Or am I barking up the wrong tree?)
