Qing,

Since your data has been converted to GEMPAK format, your options would be to 
either:

1) Use existing programs like SFLIST, SNLIST, GDLIST to dump the data to ascii 
output
for your importing to matlab,

or

2)Write your own programs utilizing the GEMPAK library functions to access the 
desired data froim your files and format it as needed on output. Starting with 
the
existing applications mentioned above would be a starting point for routines to 
read the data from GEMPAK format.
