NWS meteorologists demonstrating AWIPS II
Thanks to a 2015 Unidata Community
Equipment Award grant, the University of
Wisconsin-Milwaukee Atmospheric Science Program has been
able to acquire a dedicated AWIPS II Environmental Data
EXchange (EDEX) server and three Common AWIPS Visualization
Environment (CAVE) workstations. The machines were deployed
in our Atmospheric Science computer lab in mid-August 2015,
just prior to the start of the 2015-16 academic year. Over
the past year, our program has seen maximum benefit from
these resources in two areas: strengthening our partnership
with the Milwaukee/Sullivan, Wisconsin National Weather
Service Weather Forecast Office (MKX) and as a tool to
enhance student development outside of a formal classroom
setting.

Earlier this year, the Unidata Users Committee asked
members of the Unidata community to participate in a survey
regarding their use of scientific software packages,
software training, and community services, and to favor us
with their insights into possible future directions for the
program. You can read an overview of the survey results in
2016 Community Survey Results.
While Unidata's
governing committees and the Unidata Program Center staff
will continue to analyze the survey comments in the process
of crafting Unidata's next Strategic Plan, individual
Program Center development groups are also using the survey
as input into their own development plans. This series of
articles provides responses from different development
groups to comments or concerns raised by the survey. Under
review in this article: Python activities at Unidata.
