[GEMPAK #HOR-561708]: GEMPAK with overlaid satellite images

Zhuo,

I would suggest using EAST-CONUS 1KM VIS.

An example for SFMAP (image attached):

GEMPAK-SFMAP>
 AREA     = 40;-117;55;-80
 GAREA    = 40;-117;55;-80
 SATFIL   = /data/ldm/gempak/images/sat/EAST-CONUS/1km/VIS/VIS_20110308_1815
 RADFIL   =  
 IMCBAR   =  
 SFPARM   = SKYC;TMPF;WSYM;PMSL;;DWPF;BRBK
 DATTIM   = 1800
 SFFILE   = metar
 COLORS   = 1
 MAP      = 1
 MSCALE   = 0
 LATLON   =  
 TITLE    = 1
 CLEAR    = YES
 PANEL    = 0
 DEVICE   = XW
 PROJ     = sat
 FILTER   = YES
 TEXT     = 1
 LUTFIL   =  
 STNPLT   =  
 CLRBAR   =  
 LSTPRM   =
