Hi Kaviyazhahu, GEMPAK is able to handle OSCAT data in bufr format, and is not able to natively handle HDF5 files. I do not know yet how to convert from h5 to bufr but I am looking into it. Are you not able to get these OSCAT data files in bufr format? Michael > Thanks Mr. James. > > Greetings !!! > > I am having another Question. > > - I am new to GEMPAK.
