GEMPAK and the ECMWF Model

[mikegeukes]

What type of weather products will you get with ECMWF using GEMPAK.

Do you get the 12z and 00z runs, what are the forecast hours.
All the maps on the internet for the ECMWF are in increments of 24 hours.

Can you get more maps than the internet, be nice to get surface
temperatures, precipitation, forecast soundings, etc.

Good question for someone like Rob Dale to answer or anyone that works with GEMPAK.

My access to ECMWF gives surface temperature, 500 mb heights, 1000-500 mb thickness and 850 mb temperature for 0,6,12 an 18 CST. We use GEMPAK. It is a paid product that is specific for the energy industry. Anyway, my insight might not be too helpful but at least you know this data is attainable.

None of the additional information is available unless you pay a LOT of money...

rdale, you are right. It's a pricey service.
