The Unidata Community
|
Multidisciplinary from its origins in 1983, the Unidata community hosts participants from atmospheric science, hydrology, oceanography, climatology, engineering, and environmental science among other disciplines; though its primary focus is meteorology.
Unidata is governed by its community. Acting as its board of directors, the Policy Commitee works to strategically guide the UPC. The Users Committee (which reports to the Policy Committee), gives voice to the entire Unidata community by providing the UPC with feedback on how it can be the most effective. more >
