Release list
Unidata Community GEMPAK 7.14.0.1 Release
This release signifies the desire for the community to make releases at a faster
cadence than verbatim tracking NCEP NAWIPS releases (#74). We will continue
to attempt to merge any upstream NCEP NAWIPS releases, but will attempt to add
additional functionality here.
Bug Fixes
- The install4j Java vulnerability is "addressed" by simply removing the offending
jar file content, which is generally unused by the Unidata Community (#69). - The release of
7.14.0has a number of issues with included GEMPAK tables
with Unidata modifications over-written by the NCEP NAWIPS releases (#70). There
may still need to be some work done in this area, but things are much closer now
to back to normal. - @sgdecker kindly provided fixes for a couple of edge cases (#44, #46).

- Fixed build of program

GEMPAK Support for GOES ABI NetCDF
GOES16 and GOES17 ABI products are distributed in NetCDF4 formatted files, and GEMPAK as of release 7.5.1 can now read and display these products in their native formats (it is no longer needed to convert netCDF to McIDAS area format to display in GEMPAK).
For Full Disk and CONUS sectors, GOES16 and GOES17 ABI products are sent across the Satellite Broadcast Network as tiles, each contributing to a "mosaic" of a full sector scan. The Unidata Program Center has provided an alternate data feed in which all tiles are "stitched" together (thanks to the program ldm-alchemy).
ldmd.conf
To request these stitched images, add the following request line to your ldmd.conf:
REQUEST NIMAGE "GOES" idd.unidata.ucar.edu
pqact.conf
The following pattern action
NIMAGE ^/data/ldm/pub/native/satellite/GOES/(.*)/([^/]*)/([^/]*)/([0-9]{8})/GOES(16|17)_([^/]*)_([0-9]{8})_([0-9]{4})(..)_([^/]*).nc4
FILE -close data/gempak/images/sat/\1/\2/\3/\3_\7_\8
will create files such as :
$SAT/GOES16/CONUS/Channel02/Channel02_20181227_1812
$SAT/GOES16/CONUS/Channel08/Channel08_20181227_1812
$SAT/GOES16/CONUS/Channel13/Channel13_20181227_1942
for each of the 16 ABI channels (here the environmental variable SAT = /data/ldm/gempak/images/sat/) and each available sector (e.g. CONUS above).
NMAP2 Display
The above pqact.conf entry will write images to directories in $SAT, which are then selectable in NMAP2 > New Data Source > Image
GOES16 Full Disk
GOES16 CONUS
GOES16 PRREGI
GOES16 Mesoscale-1
GOES16 Mesoscale-2
GOES17 Full Disk*
- as seen above there is still a map projection error for GOES17 Full Disk images.

GEMPAK 7.4.2
- New GOES fixed grid projection McIDAS navigation for ABI imagery.
- New GOES ABI lookup tables (colormaps).
- gdpvsf added back to release after fix for max number of grids to avoid memory reallocation error.
- Added polygon-based Snow Squall Warnings Product (nwx, nmap2, gpmap)
- Various other table and map updates from NCEP NAWIPS 7.4.2.
Note that GOES-16 imagery is NOT LIVE yet on the UNIWISC feed (as of April 10, 2018). There will be a separate announcement about the distribution of GOES-16 products in AREA file format.
