> Why did u guys remove NAWIPS? Are you referring to Unidata's GEMPAK Software? (https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/gempak/) The original NCEP NAWIPS is a separate software package that's used by National Centers and is based off GEMPAK and AWIPS 1 legacy software. However all National Centers are transitioning from NAWIPS to AWIPS-2 because NAWIPS is out of date.
