Greg,

GEMPAK enables computation of quantities using grids of different
projections and/or output grid projections using a combination of
bi-linear interpolation and area average (when one output grid box
contains approximately four or more input grid boxes). Aside from
creating output as in GDGRIB, computation
on multiple input grids of different navigations is possible in plotting
programs as well as GDDIAG.
