Displaying the Data Using NAWIPS
In order to use N-AWIPS to display case study data, you must initialize the software to look at the case study data directories.
For SOOs working with the SOO/SAC distribution of N-AWIPS, use the ntl.case script included in the N-AWIPS software. Type:
~gempak/ntl.case PATH <enter>
Where PATH is the path to the top level case study data directory (probably
/usr1/metdat/
If you want to use the GEMPAK scripts to view case study data, you must manually specify the date and time on the command line of each script. See the individual scripts for a description of the command line usage; type (script name) help for description. Alternatively, you can manually set the environment variable GEMDATE to the date and time of interest by typing:
setenv GEMDATE <yymmddhhmm> <enter>
