Justin,
Here is a web page describing what I did to composite topography and satellite
imagery
into a single image product:

> Within GEMPAK, you can only display 1 image at a time, so it isn't possible
> to use a topo area as a satfil and then overlay a second satfil.

> The way that the product can be created in GEMPAK is to convert the satellite
> file to a
> grid using a program I have created called IMG2GD, and then use grid
> functions to combine a
> topo field with the satellite image, then convert the composite grid back to
> an image
> using a second program called GD2IMG.I have added functionality of these
> programs in the 5.10.2
> release and tweaked in the past month or so.
