A Python-focused Unidata Software Training Workshop took place August 30-31, 2018, at Jackson State University. The workshop was sponsored by the Department of Chemistry, Physics, and Atmospheric Sciences (CPAS), and organized by Drs. Remata S. Reddy and the author, in collaboration with Unidata Program Center Staff. Topics covered included the use of Unidata's MetPy and Siphon packages, focusing on atmospheric science applications such as: Upper air data analysis and the Skew-T, making maps with Cartopy, working with surface data analysis, model data, satellite data, time series analysis and more.

Unidata's 2018 Software Training Workshop will be held at the Unidata Program Center in Boulder, CO from October 15-26. Spots are still available for courses covering AWIPS, MetPy, netCDF, LDM, and TDS. Individual courses last from one to three days.
