GEMPAK users,

I have created an abbreviated data set from COMET case study #19
(Oklahoma City Tornado) as a sample for using retrospective
data in GEMPAK.

This data set can be downloaded by FTP from the gbuddy/data_sets 
directory as case19.tar.gz. To unpack the tarfile after downloading,
run "gunzip -c case19.tar.gz | tar xvf -". This will create a
directory called case19.


To view the data in this case study tree:

1) exit out of ntl if it is already running 
2) source your $NAWIPS/Gemenviron setup if you haven't already 
3) cd to the case19 directory
4) execute "run_ntl_case19.csh" to launch the ntl application bar
   with environmental variables set for the case19 datatree.
5) When viewing data in NMAP2 or Garp, use the "Set Time"
   option to select the desired viewing time (This data set covers
   May 3-4 1999).

The files in the data set follow the template names in the current
GEMPAK 5.6.C distribution. For more information, see the README file in the
distribution.
