The American Meteorological Society has announced that the 102st annual meeting, to be held 22-27 January 2022, will be held virtually rather than in the hybrid format previously envisioned. See the 102nd Annual Meeting Update (1.6.2022) for details.

Unidata staff who were planning to present in person at the annual meeting are in the process of making arrangements for virtual participation. Plans for Unidata participation in events scheduled as part of the Student Conference will be finalized soon.

Members of the Unidata Program Center staff will be attending the 102st annual American Meteorology Society meeting, to be held 22-27 January 2022 in Houston, TX. The schedule below lists sessions or posters presented by staff members.

Note: AMS is closely monitoring news and guidance from the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention, the World Health Organization, and local health agencies to ensure the health and safety of those who attend in-person in Houston. See their COVID-19 Update for the most current information.

The American Geophysical Union will be conducting a hybrid in-person and virtual conference for its 2021 Fall meeting, December 13-17 2021, with live events taking place in New Orleans, LA.

Neither Unidata nor its parent organization UCAR will have a physical presence in the physical AGU exhibit hall this year. Some of the things we'll miss talking about with you in person are our summer internships and the money we give away to help educational institutions take part in the Unidata community. Check the Unidata web site for information about the 2022 Student Internship program and the 2022 Community Equipment Awards program for details.

For the fall 2021 term, Unidata is once again offering to provide universities (or individual instructors) access to cloud-based JupyterHub servers tailored to the needs of university atmospheric science courses and workshops. By using the Unidata Science Gateway, instructors can add Jupyter notebooks used in their coursework to a dedicated JupyterHub hosted using Unidata's resources in the NSF Jetstream cloud. Once logged in to the JupyterHub, individual students access pre-configured computing environments that allow them to work with the notebooks interactively, making and saving their own alterations to existing notebooks or creating their own new notebooks.

The Unidata Program Center's three summer student interns — Lydia Bunting from Texas Tech University, Connor Cozad from the College of Charleston in South Carolina, and Isabelle Pfander from Willamette University in Oregon — have come to the end of their summer appointments. After a summer of dedicated work they presented the results of their projects to the UPC staff on July 28, 2021. You can find videos of their presentations to the UPC staff on the Unidata Seminar Series page.
