Hi Mike and Brian,

re:

No, there is no formal agreement needed to (re)establish a relationship
with Unidata.  The first thing that Brian (or someone who works for
his department at UNCC) should do is register as a Unidata user at
the Unidata website:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu

Registration will give that user access to all of the software that
can be downloaded from the website.

>receive system.

This sounds good.

>In addition, Dr Etherton is operationally running the WRF
>model and continues to work in that area.

Excellent.

>Please let myself or Dr. Etherton know how we can proceed to become a
>Unidata member university again.

Please register with the Unidata website and then start setting up
your LDM/IDD ingest node.  Mike, I think you are familiar with the
process.  Please let me know if you would like/need more specific
information.

Brian, welcome aboard!
