Welcome back to AWIPS Tips!

AWIPS 23.4.1-0.3 is a beta release, with both EDEX and CAVE installation options. This release includes a major upgrade for the operating system, running on Rocky 8 Linux – which is a free Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) distribution.

This release is still in beta since the National Weather Service is still working on their 23.4.1 release to operations and does not have full functionality. Users will have the option of installing their own EDEX with this version, or continue to connect to Unidata's public EDEX (edex-beta.unidata.ucar.edu).

The NSF Unidata Program receives the majority of its funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation. Every five years, the program submits a new proposal for core program funding to the NSF, outlining past accomplishments and describing plans for future activities.

We are please to announce that our most recent five-year funding proposal, Unidata Reimagined: New Approaches to Community Data Services, has been awarded.
