hey Mike..
you might want to look in the
$NAWIPS/gempak/tables/stns/geog.tbl
it has most if not all the projection info the different agencies use
quick scan looks like the SPC uses STR
so set your maps up like so
PROJ = STR/90;-97;0/0;0;0;0
GAREA = SPCUS
that should be darn close
Hi Mike,
If you can't get the exact specs from the SPC, then trial, error, and a lot
of patience will eventually get the maps perfectly aligned. The image on "
http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/validww.png"; has dimensions of 582 x
408. How I would approach this painful process...
1) Save validww.png to your local computer
$gpmap
clear all the values except:
MAP=1
MSCALE=0
GAREA=20;-110;40;-50
PROJ=str/90;-96;0
PANEL=0
TITLE=1
TEXT=1
CLEAR=YES
DEVICE=gif | us_test.gif | 582 ; 408
2) run gpmap and compare the image us_test.gif with validww.png
3) rerun gpmap by tweaking the GAREA / PROJ until us_test.gif and
validww.png are perfectly aligned
I tried the following:
GAREA=20;-110;40;-50
GAREA=20;-120;40;-50
GAREA=20;-120;40;-40
GAREA=20;-120;40;-60
GAREA=20;-115;45;-60
GAREA=20;-115;45;-65
GAREA=20;-115;50;-65
GAREA=22;-112;50;-67
I'm giving up b/c I don't have time to do this...but you should be able to
match them up eventually.
Hopefully you can get the actual specs or someone out there knows a better
way of doing this.
Regards,
Evan Lowery

Subject: [gembud] Orienting map in GEMPAK 5.11.4
Hello, I spoke with a forecaster at the Storm Prediction Center about the
way that they orient the map. He was telling me it was either LCC or NPS (I
think). I am trying to orient the lines so that if I draw me a personal
outlook, that I can verify it exactly with a SPC map, to verify reports with
my outlook. Can you guys please help me?
Here is a perfect example:

I would like to see a return to pre-compiled binaries, including
PPC and Intel Mac as well as some of the more popular Linux variations.
I do not have the support or time to put together all the
dependencies and have always greatly appreciated the precompiled binaries.
