GEMPAK 6.6.0 is now available at the download page http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/gempak/

In addition to general table and map updates, 6.6.0 includes updates to NEXR2RHI and NMAP2, as well as an improved pre-compilation system architecture determination which eliminates the need to modify configuration files on some systems. Other updates include improved support for the migration to AWIPS II, and the ability to display Cryosat and high-resolution OSCAT data (thanks to the work done by Greg McFadden at OPC).

In partnership with OPeNDAP Inc., Unidata has received a three-year award grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration in order to better align, link and eventually integrate software that the two organizations independently offer as extensible, open-source infrastructure for scientific data exchange.

The OPeNDAP-Unidata Linked Servers project (OPULS) aims to adapt OPeNDAP and Unidata server systems for greater conformance, linkage, and eventual integration, along the way demonstrating how one group can capitalize on advances achieved by the other.

LDM 6.10.0

18 October 2011

Version 6.10.0 of the LDM package was released on 2011-10-18. This version is recommended for all users and can be downloaded at http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/downloads/ldm/.

The major change in this version is the incorporation of the previously-separate NOAAPORT and GRIBINSERT packages. The NOAAPORT package creates LDM data-products from a NOAAPORT satellite feed and inserts them into an LDM product-queue. The GRIBINSERT package creates LDM data-products from GRIB messages in files and inserts them into an LDM product-queue. Most sites will not need either of these subpackages, so they are not installed by default. The installation instructions for this version indicate how to include these packages in the installation of the LDM system

For a detailed list of changes from previous versions, see this package's CHANGE_LOG.
