August 2011 Status Update: NAWIPS Migration to AWIPS II
05 August 2011
NCEP Central Operations (NCO) continued to migrate NAWIPS functionality into the AWIPS II system during the month of July, according to NCO Chief of Systems Integration Michelle Mainelli. "NCO also spent time testing the automated data flow from the Central Computing System to the AWIPS II Test Bed located in the World Weather Building," says Mainelli. Test data includes NCO-provided model data and observational data types including radar mosaics and NCEP-specific satellite imagery.

AWIPS2 at the 2011 Unidata Training Workshop
18 July 2011
Participants in the 2011 Unidata GEMPAK Training Workshop were the first class given the opportunity to test-drive CAVE (theCommon AWIPS Visualization Environment). The UPC was testing a single-server standalone EDEX installation providing data for twenty CAVE workstations simultaneously. Although AWIPS2/CAVE is a 32 bit Java application, the UPC continues testing stability and usability on 64 bit systems. This single-server/multiple-client AWIPS2 configuration shows promise for University computer lab settings.

01 July 2011
According to NCEP Central Operations (NCO) Chief of Systems Integration Michelle Mainelli, in the month of June, NCEP Central Operations, NWS/Office of Science and Technology, and Raytheon Technical Services successfully established a data flow connection between NCEP's Central Computing System and NCEP's Primary Data Flow Server in our AWIPS II Testbed (NTBN) located in the Camp Springs, MD World Weather Building.
"The purpose of this direct connection is to ensure the timely arrival of model, satellite, and observational data to our AWIPS II system," says Mainelli. "The GFS, NAM, and RUC operational model data (in GRIB2 format) are now automatically being sent to NTBN. In order to optimize processing and registration to the database, it was necessary re-write the National Center Perspective (NCP) GRIB decoder."
Testing and refining the GRIB decoder to ensure efficient data processing will continue into early July, says Mainelli.
