The scripts work with the 5.4 release of GEMPAK.  They were written in
1998.  These scripts are somewhat like Brad Colman's ez scripts or
Russ Schneider's scripts in that they use restore files so that you
can create images on the fly.  I will be updating these scripts with
the next release of GEMPAK with NMAP.  Also, once I get AWIPS (March
1999), I hope to recreate many of the scripts there as well.  But,
having not worked with AWIPS, I have no idea how easy this will be.  I
have written up documentation in WP8.0 that help the a person use
them.  I will be zipping everything up and sending them to Dave Schultz.
Since the files are small, I could also e-mail you a copy of them as
well with instruction on installing them on the SAC.

There is also a Word Perfect 8.0 file that contains instructions and 
descriptions of each script.  The idea of the scripts is that apply 
the methodology by looking for instability, lift and moisture.  So 
there are both cross-sections and plan maps that look at 
frontogenesis, EPV, PV advection and d(thes)/dp as well as RH.
     
A couple of notes.  All of the EPV should be calculated to look for 
CSI (using theta-es).  I also changed all the captions to the figures. 
You may want to check them out just to be sure.  Unfortunately, the 
instructions were written in WP8.0 in Grand Forks and we only have 
WP6.1 down here.  All the instructions say theta-E instead of 
theta-es.  We are going to get WP8.0 soon but if you hand out the 
scripts you may want to change the instructions to say theta-es 
instead of theta-e so that we are consistent.  If you don't have 
WP8.0, I can send you photocopies of the instructions.
