Bring a poster!

Registration for the 2018 Undiata Users Workshop is now open.

The Unidata Users Committee invites you to join Unidata staff, community members, and distinguished speakers this June in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of this year's workshop is to raise awareness of the current trends in the academic geoscience community with an emphasis on Data Proximate Analysis, Machine Learning and Data Analytics, Using GOES-16 Data, and Working with Ensemble NWP Output. Scientists and educators from the academic geoscience community will present ideas and techniques for making effective use of geoscience data and share activities, course materials, and ideas for improving education and research. There will be hands-on workshops, a poster session, and time for informal discussions with presenters and Unidata developers.

He's a heckin good boy, 'cause he uses MetPy!

The Unidata Program Center is happy to announce that this is our final blog post...because we are moving all communication channels to Facebook! While this may come as a surprise to our dear community members, we’d like to take this time to highlight a few of the positive aspects associated with this move. Heck.

Unidata's AMS booth

This year's annual American Meteorological Society meeting, was held January 7-11 in Austin, Texas. We were happy to see many of the Unidata community members participating in the meeting at our booth in the exhibit hall, and to meet so many prospective community members at the AMS Student Conference.

Read on for some highlights from the conference as recalled by UPC staff members who attended.

Abstract submission deadlines for most conferences and symposia at the American Meteorological Society's 98th Annual Meeting are 1 August 2017.

UPDATE: Many of the deadlines have been extended to 8 August 2017 or later, including the deadline for submissions to the EIPT conference, now Tuesday, 15 August 2017. See the Call for Papers for details.

Two conferences that may be of special interest to Unidata community members are:

• 34th Environmental Information Processing Technologies (EIPT)
• Eighth Symposium on Advances in Modeling and Analysis Using Python
