The Unidata Program Center is pleased to announce its 2007 Software Training Workshop. The workshop features our display and analysis packages McIDAS, GEMPAK, and the IDV, data access and management tools, the Local Data Manager (LDM), the Network Common Data Form (netCDF) and netCDF-JAVA, and the THREDDS software for cataloging, browsing, and accessing remote data and metadata. Unidata’s training workshops are developed and presented by the software developers and support staff for each package, so you can be sure to get your questions answered.

This one day session for data providers and developers will include an overview of the use of parallel netCDF, an introduction to netCDF-4, and a talk on HDF5 for netCDF-4 users:
- Overview of the netCDF-3 and netCDF-4 data models and architecture
- Description of programming interfaces for various languages
- Generic netCDF utilities
- Best practices for providing data and developing archives
- Conventions for coordinate systems, gridded, and observational data
- Performance tips
- Parallel netCDF (Rob Latham, Argonne National Lab)
- What NetCDF-4 Users Should Know about HDF5 (Elena Pourmal, The HDF Group)
- NetCDF-4 features, performance, compatibility, and guidance on use
This session 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.
This session will cover LDM site management. Topics will include LDM installation, configuration, tuning, troubleshooting, and maintenance. Attendees are 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: Material will cover one and one-half days. The afternoon of the second day will be available for those who would like assistance remotely managing their LDM installation.
This two day session is for system administrators and data providers to learn how to install, configure and maintain the THREDDS Data Server (TDS). Security, debugging, adding metadata, and serving IDD data are also covered.
This session will cover installing and configuring the IDV, loading, displaying, and manipulating data, creating custom diagnostic functions, and Jython scripting.
This workshop will cover advanced topics for those interested in customizing and extending the IDV. Attendees must be familiar with the use of the IDV (i.e. topics covered in the Introduction to IDV workshop). The session will cover issues such as creating custom applications, adding new data sources and displays. A knowledge of Java programming would be helpful, but not necessary, especially on the second day.
This one day session for intermediate to advanced Java programmers will focus exclusively on writing an "I/O Service Provider" implementation. This allows third parties to use the IDV (to view) and TDS (to serve) their specialized file formats.
Data access in McIDAS follows a client-server architecture known as the Abstract Data Distribution Environment (ADDE). The workshop's focus is 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.
There is a registration fee of $50 per session to attend the Training Workshop, charged upon acceptance into the individual sessions.
We review all registration requests before issuing confirmations in order to give priority to our university community.
This means that after completing the on-line registration form, your status
is pending until we send you a confirmation e-mail. This is not the same as the auto-reply e-mail that is sent
immediately after you complete your on-line registration request.
We hate to have empty seats! Please let us know asap about cancellations. Registration fees cannot be refunded for reservations canceled after June 22, 2007.
Unidata is supported by the National Science Foundation.
