This archive contains answers to questions sent to Unidata support through mid-2025. Note that the archive is no longer being updated. We provide the archive for reference; many of the answers presented here remain technically correct, even if somewhat outdated.

Alexia, GEMPAK uses GEMPAK format files, or can convert model data from GRIB (which is the usual output format of the ETA model) to GEMPAK format. GEMPAK runs on most Unix/Linux systems. Binary distributions are provided for several operating systems. See the information on the download page as appropriate. To build the distribution, you will need Fortran and C compilers, as well as the Motif development environment. Please see: http://my.unidata.ucar.edu/content/software/gempak/GEMPAK5.7/Install_GEMPAK5.7.html Also, since you are not an educational institution, we are limited in resources which we can provide for support. We do provide the gembud email list, as well as web based tutorial and user support services which you are welcomed to use.
