NCEP Decoder Download
Each decoder is downloadable as a set of one or more UNIX tarfiles:
- nawips.tar
- contains general utility source code, scripts, and tables that are
used within all NCEP decoders (including the CREXLIB), and only needs to be
downloaded one time no matter how many different decoders you plan to
download and run
- decoder_name.tar
- contains source code, scripts, and tables that are required for the
report_type decoder, where the following table applies:
Choose a directory on your local UNIX system to serve as the
<Installation_Directory>, and then download the "nawips.tar" file
and any "decoder_name.tar" file(s) that you need into that
directory. Once this is done, cd to that directory on your system and then
unpack the "nawips.tar" file via the command:
tar xvf nawips.tar
and then read and follow the instructions in the extracted file "README_nawips".
Then, for each downloaded "decoder_name.tar" file, cd back to the
<Installation_Directory> once again, and then unpack the tarfile
via the command:
tar xvf decoder_name.tar
and then read and follow the instructions in the extracted file
"README_decoder_name".
