The University of Wisconsin, Madison will be hosting a
three-day Unidata Regional Software Training Workshop
June 5-7, 2017, with an optional hackathon following on June 8.
Unidata software developers will be leading the
Python-focused workshop, which will cover the use of the MetPy and
Siphon packages in the context of atmospheric science and
introduce the National Weather Service's Common AWIPS
Visualization Environment (CAVE) along with Python tools for
working with AWIPS data services. A basic familiarity with
Python is assumed — check out the
<a href="https://unidata.github.io/online-python-training/">Unidata Online Python Training</a>
for a refresher.
</p>
<p>
Unidata holds regional workshops in part to facilitate easy
access to software training for those who may not be able to
travel to training workshops held at the Unidata Program Center
in Boulder, Colorado. Attendance is explicitly <i>not</i>
limited to University of Wisconsin students and staff; we encourage
those within easy travel distance to consider attending.

session, the AWIPS session, or both. (Note that the AWIPS session will take
advantage of some of the techniques introduced in the MetPy/Siphon session, so
if you're interested in AWIPS but new to working with git and Conda, consider
signing up for all three days.)

All members of the geoscience community are invited to participate

to be held June 7-9, 2017 in Seattle, Washington.
</p>
<p>
The theme of this year's meeting is "Making Connections
& Moving Forward." Since the first All Hands Meeting in
2014, this annual event has been a critical opportunity for
community members to make connections, communicate advances,
and help plan the future of EarthCube. This year's meeting
will focus on domain researchers, while supporting
discussions by technical and data science researchers. The
goal is to help bridge the disciplinary divide by focusing
on gaps in current implementations, and finding where
communication between geoscientists and computer scientists
can be strengthened to foster adoption and discovery of
resources.
</p>
<p>
There will be Plenary & Domain Talks, Breakout Sessions,
Poster Sessions, and special morning sessions for new
members: EarthCube 101 and Workbench 101. These are new
events for 2017 and will provide newcomers with some
background on the mission, structure, and goals of
EarthCube.

Proposals for grants supporting two types of EarthCube activities are

</p>
<p>
See the NSF solicitation page: <a
href="https://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?WT.z_pims_id=504780&ods_key=nsf16514">EarthCube:
Developing a Community-Driven Data and Knowledge Environment
for the Geosciences</a> for details.
</p>
<p>
The following excerpts from the NSF solicitation describe the
two types of activities:
</p>
<h4>EarthCube Integration</h4>
<p>
Deadline: March 14, 2017
</p>
<p>
Estimated Number of Awards: 3-8
</p>
<p>
Estimated Award Size and Duration: Awards may be up to 36
months in duration. Budgets must be commensurate with the
scope of the work and size of the collaboration.
</p>
<p>
This opportunity supports multidisciplinary demonstration
projects to improve interoperability of critical geosciences
cyberinfrastructure components, such as data facilities and
other resources. This integration effort will enable
resources to become part of a system of systems as described
in recent <a href="https://www.earthcube.org/2017-solicitation">EarthCube architecture documents</a>.
</p>
<h4>EarthCube Research Coordination Networks (RCN)</h4>
<p>
Target Date: March 14, 2017. (EarthCube RCN proposals may
be submitted after the Target Date with
permission of an EarthCube Program Director. Permission must
be given by email and indicate the agreed upon date of
proposal submission.)
</p>
<p>
Estimated Number of Awards: 1-3
</p>
<p>
Estimated Award Size and Duration: A maximum of 24 months and a maximum of $300,000.
</p>
<p>
EarthCube RCNs are intended to advance geosciences
cyberinfrastructure through interaction, discussion and
planning between geoscientists and cyberinfrastructure
experts. RCNs provide opportunities for academic geosciences
communities to organize, seek input, come to consensus and
prioritize data, modeling, and technology needs, as well as
standards and interoperability within and across domains.
The goal of 2017 EarthCube Research Coordination Networks
(RCNs) is to be closely tied to the science and
cyberinfrastructure needs of core geosciences programs and
domains supported by GEO. To that end, potential proposers
must coordinate EarthCube RCN ideas and discuss submission
of any EarthCube RCN proposal with the relevant GEO program
directors as well as at least one EarthCube program
director.

</p>
<p>
The theme of this year's meeting is "Making Connections & Moving Forward."
Since the first All Hands
Meeting in 2014, this annual event has been a critical opportunity
for community members
to make connections, communicate advances, and help plan the
future of EarthCube.
The AHM Organizing Committee is busy planning poster
sessions, plenary and domain-science talks. Breakout sessions and "Introduction to
EarthCube" events for people new to the community are also in the works.
</p>
<p>
In addition, EarthCube is offering grants to defray travel costs for
early-career scientists. The deadline these grants is <span class="highlight_muted">March 15, 2017</span>, so visit

UCAR's <a href='http://www.cosmic.ucar.edu'>COSMIC</a>
Program Office invites you to register for the Eighth
FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC Data Users Workshop, to be held at UCAR's
Center Green (CG1) conference facility in Boulder, Colorado,
USA from 30 September to 2 October 2014.
</p>
<p>
The FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC is a joint U.S.-Taiwan mission,
launched in April 2006. Since its launch, FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC
has provided more than three million GPS radio occultation
(RO) soundings to support research and operation. More than
1,800 researchers from 63 countries
are registered users of the data.

<p>
The series of FORMOSAT-3/COSMIC Data Users Workshops have
been an excellent forum for a dialogue between RO data
providers and data users, and with which to promote and
broaden the applications of RO data in various science
disciplines, including weather, climate, and space weather.
