From jweber at unidata.ucar.edu Thu May 24 15:12:59 2001 From: jweber at unidata.ucar.edu (Jeff Weber) Date: Thu, 24 May 2001 15:12:59 -0600 (MDT) Subject: 2002 AMS: Case Study and Local Application Presentations Message-ID: Hello casestudy participants, The announcement below indicates a wonderful opportunity to share and learn applications using historical data at the 2002 AMS in Orlando, Florida. We encourage participation in this symposium and offer to help in any way possible. Now that the COMET case studies are available in netCDF as well as the data's native formats, this is an excellent forum to engage with others ideas and techniques for analyzing historical data. I look forward to seeing you all there, -Jeff ____________________________ _____________________ Jeff Weber jweber at ucar.edu Unidata Support PH:303-497-8676 NWS-COMET Case Study Library FX:303-497-8690 University Corp for Atmospheric Research 3300 Mitchell Ln http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/staff/jweber Boulder,Co 80307-3000 ________________________________________ ______________________ --------------------Forwarded Message---------------------- ATTENTION ALL POSSIBLE ORAL/POSTER PRESENTERS AT THE AWIPS SYMPOSIUM AT THE 2002 AMS ANNUAL MEETING IN ORLANDO, FLORIDA Case Study and Local Application Presentations Arrangements are being made to allow AWIPS Symposium speakers to present interesting case studies and/or applications programs as part of the AWIPS symposium to be held 14-17 Jan 2002 in conjunction with the 2002 AMS Annual Meeting in Orlando, Florida. AWIPS workstations will be available to load and demonstrate historical data for case studies as well as locally developed applications using current data. Participants will be assigned time slots of approximately an hour to present their work. These presentations will be in addition to oral/written papers, poster sessions, or independent of any paper presentation. Those wishing to present case studies or to demonstrate local applications should, (1) prepare a brief abstract describing the case study or local application, (2)describe computer resources necessary including a description of and size of the data sets for case study presentations, any special configurations or localizations requirements, and any requirements for specific versions of COTS or support software. Both AWIPS Unix workstations and Linux workstations will be available for these presentations. It will be necessary to stage and integrate custom applications and special data cases in advance to make sure the localization and other environmental variables are properly set up. The AWIPS Program plans to work with presenters during September, October, and November 2001 to do this staging. Presenters should plan on having their data and applications available for this staging by September 1, 2001. December 2001 will be reserved for boxing and shipping the equipment to the conference center. For case study data, presenters should also plan on placing data on CDs for processing and display during the demonstrations. These data must be compatible with Release 5.x because the netCDF for observational data changed after Release 4.3.3. Applications developed by users for use with real time data must work with SBN data since there will not be an LDAD for acquiring local data. Additional information will be available once the abstracts have been received and the AWIPS Program has had an opportunity to review proposed demonstrations.
