Hi Mark,
How do you plan on viewing the data?
GEMPAK would not use the netCDF decoder?..it would use dcnldn..
Like this:
################################################################################
# GEMPAK Point source decoders
#
NLDN .*
PIPE decoders/dcnldn -m 25000 -b 30 -s minute05
-d data/gempak/logs/dcnldn.log
-e GEMTBL=/home/gempak/NAWIPS/gempak/tables
data/gempak/nldn/YYYYMMDDHHNN_nldn.gem
###
Let me know and we will dial you in..
Cheers,
Jeff
