  • Subject: [GEMPAK #LZI-130718]: Perl sat script using gempak
  • Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2006 11:04:23 -0700
Jamie,

GEMPAK display satellite imagery using the GPMAP program, or any other mapping
program. These are not scripts. You can write shell scripts to automate the 
process 
of GEMPAK image display (which is generally useful if you are producing web
graphics).

Satellite images are sent via the IDD. The format of these images is either
Area file, or NOAAPORT GINI. To display the images in GPMAP, you set the SATFIL
parameter to the file name, and the PROJ parameter to "sat".
