[ncl-talk] GEMPAK to NCL code needed

Hi Andy,

I'll provide the update to that code (I think Carl Schreck sent me your
email a bit ago - sorry for not getting back sooner). With the help of our
tech support in Albany a couple years ago (thanks Kevin Tyle!), this is a
version that works with the current version(s) of NCL and GEMPAK (not yet
tested with 7.0+, but I don't know why it should change). The biggest issue
was actually updating the code for NCL 6.0.0+ because of the change in
fortran wrapper handling. You'll still have to compile locally, but I
assume that won't be an issue. I have it working with 64-bit CentOS 5.x and
6.x systems - no luck yet on a Mac, but haven't really tried either.

You can find the files at:
http://marrella.meteor.wisc.edu/~ksgriffin2/gem2ncl/

There is a testncl.ncl file included as well as the "orig" .f file if you
want to see the comparison between the two for your own reference.

Feel free to let me know if you have any issues - I can't guarantee that I
can help with all of them, but I can try. There are also a few quirks in
the code that stem from the GEMPAK libraries themselves - not much we can
do there.
