The Unidata Program Center has scheduled a user training workshop for the period of October 23 through November 8, 2003. The workshop will consist of 5 consecutive sessions devoted to Unidata application packages and projects.
Space is still available in GEMPAK, LDM, and McIDAS sessions. The IDV session is full.
LDM Session 1: October 23 - October 25 (Thursday - Saturday)
This session will cover LDM site administration. Topics will include LDM installation, configuration, tuning, and maintenance. Also covered will be troubleshooting the LDM and its network connections. Attendees will be expected to have a working knowledge of Unix and Internet networking, including the following:
- file-systems
- system-logging
- user-account administration
- installing packages from source code
- general concepts of Internet Protocol networking
Note: Workshop material will cover two and one-half days. The afternoon of the third day will be available for those who would like assistance remotely installing, upgrading, or tuning their LDM installations.
GEMPAK: October 27 - October 29 (Monday - Wednesday)
This workshop will describe how to use the GEMPAK package in a variety of real-time and research contexts. Topics covered will include general design concepts, graphical user interfaces, writing interactive and batch scripts, configuring decoders and data tables, use with archived and case study data sets, output device drivers, and data formats.
LDM Session 2: October 30 - November 1 (Thursday - Saturday)
LDM sessions 1 and 2 will cover the same material. We are opening two sessions to accommodate more people. Please refer to the description for LDM Session 1.
The IDV is Unidata's newest analysis and visualization tool. The workshop will cover installing and configuring the IDV, loading, displaying, and manipulating data, creating custom diagnostic functions, Jython scripting, educational content development, and multi-user collaborative aspects. If there is sufficient interest, the workshop will also cover developer issues such as creating custom applications, adding new data sources, and displays.
McIDAS: November 5 - November 8 (Wednesday - Saturday)
Data access in McIDAS follows a client-server architecture known as the Abstract Data Distribution Environment (ADDE). This workshop will focus
on ADDE concepts from both client and server perspectives including creating and publishing datasets. Additional topics will include:
McIDAS-X system installation and setup; installation and configuration of the McIDAS-XCD (McIDAS decoders for NOAAPORT datastream data) and LDM-MCIDAS packages (Unidata-Wisconsin datastream decoders); McIDAS scripting facilities; and manipulation of locally-held and remote image, point, and grid datasets.Note: We will attempt to cover all workshop material in three full days. Experience in previous workshops has shown, however, that covering all relevant topics will require a full four days.
