Programs
GDPOINT outputs values of any scalar gridded data calculation at a
specified point. Multiple times are allowed.
INPUT PARAMETERS
GDFILE *Grid file
GDATTIM *Grid date/time
GLEVEL *Grid level
GVCORD *Grid vertical coordinate
SCALE *Scalar scale
GFUNC *Scalar grid
GPOINT *Grid point
PROGRAM DESCRIPTION
Produces text output of any scalar field computed using the
GEMPAK grid diagnostic functions for a specified point.
Multiple times are allowed, and output together.
GPOINT specifies the location for the values. It may be
enterred as a latitude and longitude seperated with a semicolon,
as a station character identifier or station number, or as a
set of x and y grid points seperated with a semicolon and
preceded with an @.
A list of times may be given in GDATTIM, or specifying ALL
will produce output for all times. Output is printed on
a seperate line for each date/time using a XXXXXX.XXXXX format.
Values can be scaled by the factor of 10 specified in SCALE
so that reasonable values are output.
EXAMPLES
1. Output the 500mb height above Missoula MT at the 24-hour
forecast time:
GDFILE = 97032512_eta.gem
GDATTIM = f24
GLEVEL = 500
GVCORD = pres
SCALE = 0
GFUNC = hght
GPOINT = mso
output:
GPOINT: mso
GVCORD: pres
GLEVEL: 500
GFUNC : hght
SCALE : 0
970325/1200F024 : 5642.92578
2. Output the 1000-500mb thickness at latitude/longitude
45N 110W for all forecast times. Scale by 10**-1.
GDFILE = 97032512_eta.gem
GDATTIM = all
GLEVEL = 850
GVCORD = pres
SCALE = -1
GFUNC = sub(hght@500,hght@1000)
GPOINT = 45;-110
output:
GPOINT: 45;-110
GVCORD: pres
GLEVEL: 850
GFUNC : sub(hght@500,hght@1000)
SCALE : -1
970325/1200F000 : 543.97461
970325/1200F006 : 548.53955
970325/1200F012 : 554.02820
970325/1200F018 : 552.50134
970325/1200F024 : 551.03271
970325/1200F030 : 553.88477
970325/1200F036 : 555.94928
970325/1200F042 : 550.64130
970325/1200F048 : 545.61694
