Identify the different versions of GFMPL and associated publications.   Describe   the   functions   of GFMPL. Identify the major environmental software programs of GFMPL. to collect, evaluate, and incorporate new software developments for any meteorological or oceanographic application. Basic guidance on the software evaluation program  is  contained  in  NAVMETOCCOMINST 5232.1,  Geophysics  Fleet  Mission  Program  Library (GFMPL). GFMPL contains software designed for use on many different types of desktop computer systems, including TESS, IMOSS, and MIDDS. Currently, there are three major versions of GFMPL.  The GFMPL NT is the latest version and is distributed on CD-ROM. It is designed to work with the Windows NT operating system  by  using  a  Windows-type  graphical  user (GFMPL)   is   a   collection   of   atmospheric   and The  Geophysics  Fleet  Mission  Program  Library oceanographic software applications similar to OAML. It   provides   meteorological,   electromagnetic, oceanographic,   hazard   avoidance,   and   acoustic software for fleet air, surface, amphibious, and undersea warfare   (USW)   operations.   Other   than   being   a collection of software, GFMPL is also a program sponsored and directed by the Commander, Naval Meteorology and Oceanography Command (CNMOC) NT is contained in the  Geophysics  Fleet  Mission Program Library New Technology (GFMPLNT) User’s interface. Information describing the use of GFMPL Manual,  published  by  NAVO.  A  second  version, known as GFMPL PC, is designed to run on DOS-based PC systems. It is distributed in both floppy diskette and CD-ROM. A users manual is provided with the disks. The latest and final version of GFMPL PC was released in January 1998. In addition to the NT and PC versions of GFMPL, a Unix-based version has been integrated 2-3
