Members of the Unidata Program Center staff will be attending the 95th annual American Meteorology Society meeting, January 4-8 2014, in Phoenix, Arizona. Unidata will be in Booth 220 in the exhibit hall; feel free to stop by to talk with us. The booth will feature live, hands-on demonstrations of Unidata software and services, including a look at the current state of the AWIPS II environment. Come and talk with the developers about what's coming up and what you'd like to see.

Spend the summer in beautiful Boulder, Colorado

Do you use Unidata software packages? Do you love to write code? The Unidata Summer Internship program is looking for you!

The Unidata Summer Internship offers undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to work with Unidata software engineers and scientists on projects drawn from a wide variety of areas in the atmospheric and computational sciences. Unidata's mission is to support the Earth Science research and education community with data and tools for data access, analysis, and visualization. As a Unidata intern, you'll pursue the goal of adding innovative enhancements to data access, analysis, and visualization tools developed within Unidata.

Every year, the Unidata Program Center hosts a Software Training Workshop in Boulder, Colorado to provide training and guidance on the use of Unidata software packages. While the workshop is designed primarily to benefit the academic community, representatives from government agencies and commercial entities are also invited to participate. This year's workshop ran from October 21 - November 6, and saw strong attendance from all three groups.

Members of the Unidata Program Center staff will be attending the American Geophysical Union 2014 Fall meeting, December 15-19 2014, in San Francisco. The schedule below lists specific sessions at which UPC staff will be in attendance. See the AGU Fall meeting Scientific Program for additional information on the sessions.

In addition to talks and poster sessions, Unidata staff will be spending time at the UCAR Community Programs booth (#2404) in the Exhibit Hall. Stop by to chat or see Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer in action.

The registration deadline has been extended to October 10, 2014.

Remember that registration for Unidata's upcoming 2014 Software Training Workshop is open until October 10, 2014. The workshop features Unidata's display and analysis packages GEMPAK (with an introduction to AWIPS-II) and the IDV, as well as data access and management tools including the Local Data Manager (LDM) and the THREDDS Data Server (TDS). This year's workshop will also include a session on using the Python programming language with Unidata technologies.

The workshop will be held October 21 – November 6, 2014 in Boulder, Colorado. Individual courses last from one to four days.
