Most Data Still Flowing Despite US Government Shutdown
02 October 2013
The majority of data streams made available via the Internet Data Distribution (IDD)
system currently remain available to Unidata community members despite the closing
of US government facilities. As a UCAR facilitiy, the Unidata Program Center itself
has not been directly affected by the shutdown, although if the budget impasse continues
for more than a few weeks there could be reductions in staff time.
As of 2 October 2013, only one data stream normally available via the IDD is
affected; a portion of the Suominet data that flows through NOAA servers
(part of the CORS network) will be unavailable until the servers are restarted.
Currently, the CONDUIT data streams from NCEP are still functioning. We have not
been notified about whether they will continue to operate.
UPC staff are currently unaffected and available for support questions and all normal activities.
University of Toronto: Post-Doctoral Positions in Arctic Atmospheric Research
02 October 2013
Applications are invited for two Post-Doctoral Fellowships
in Arctic Atmospheric Research affiliated with the Probing
the Atmosphere of the High Arctic (PAHA) project. Using
measurements from the Polar Environment Atmospheric Research
Laboratory (PEARL) at Eureka, Nunavut and measurements from
other sites around the Arctic and the rest of the globe, the
PAHA project is investigating the changing atmosphere of the
Canadian High Arctic. This project also operates in
association with the NSERC CREATE Training Program in Arctic
Atmospheric Science.

AGU's Thriving Earth Exchange presents opportunities to the Unidata community
02 October 2013
Thriving Earth Exchange
The American Geophysical Union is developing the Thriving Earth
Exchange to connect communities, scientists, and funders
(or Seekers, Solvers, and Sponsors in the language of the
Exchange) and bring Earth and Space science to bear on local
challenges.
Program Director Raj Pandya explains the Thriving Earth
Exchange this way: “Communities post their challenges;
scientists suggest solutions; judges select the best
solutions; the scientists get a financial reward; and the
scientists, communities, and sponsors have the chance to
work together to implement those solutions.”
