Hi Manda,

I passed this by our GEMPAK guru and we downloaded the images
and viewed them successfully. I think you may find some helpful
suggestions regarding directory structure for GEMPAK below...

Let me know if this does not address your problem.

Thank you,

Hi,
  Sorry to bother you once again.....  We are unable to read
some satellite data from Comet case #12.  The data is from goes 7
in 1994.  We can read it in wxp but not in GARP.  We are running
GARP version 2.1 and GEMPAK 5.4   
Thanks.

Jeff,

I downloaded VIS and IR images for Case 12 via CODIAC and 
have no trouble displaying them. 

You are probably correct in asserting that they have not correctly
added GOES-7 to the list of directories searched for by the Garp GUI.

In my $GARPHOME/config/Garp_defaults the following definition exists:
G7    : "$(SATDIR)/GOES-7"

Too look for that directory, the $(G7) variable must be added to
the "sat" parameter list of paths, eg:

sat             : "$(G7) $(G8) $(G10) $(G11) $(G12) $(GINI) etc.   


Here is an example of my sat directory in ~gbuddy/incoming/sat

GOES-7
