Version 5.3.1 of the netCDF Operators (NCO) has been released. NCO is an Open Source package that consists of a dozen standalone, command-line programs that take netCDF files as input, then operate (e.g., derive new data, average, print, hyperslab, manipulate metadata) and output the results to screen or files in text, binary, or netCDF formats.

The NSF Unidata THREDDS development team released netCDF-Java 5.7.0 on January 6th, 2025. This release contains a number of security upgrades to third party libraries, a variety of bug fixes, and several new features and improvements.

Welcome back to AWIPS Tips!

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break. I have a couple updates that I would like to share with you all regarding:

• Decommissioning Unidata Version 20 (CentOS7) EDEX
• Upcoming Maintenance on Unidata Version 23 EDEX
• AMS Participation

Version 5.3.0 of the netCDF Operators (NCO) has been released. NCO is an Open Source package that consists of a dozen standalone, command-line programs that take netCDF files as input, then operate (e.g., derive new data, average, print, hyperslab, manipulate metadata) and output the results to screen or files in text, binary, or netCDF formats.

The NCO project is coordinated by Professor Charlie Zender of the Department of Earth System Science, University of California, Irvine. More information about the project, along with binary and source downloads, are available on the SourceForge project page.

The Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) version 6.3 is available now. This is a major release and is recommended for all users. It can be downloaded from the NSF Unidata downloads site.

The AWIPS team reminds you that the version 20.3.2 public EDEX Server (edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu) will be decommissioned at the end of 2024, as it is running on CentOS7 which has reached its end of life back in June.

We do have a new public EDEX Server version 23.4.1 (edex-beta.unidata.ucar.edu) that has been available since August. Once v20 is decommissioned, the edex-cloud.unidata.ucar.edu will change to point to v23.

The Socio-Environmental Knowledge Commons (SEEKCommons) Fellowship is an initiative to bring graduate students and early-career researchers to socio-environmental research with common technologies. The SEEKCommons project is dedicated to building pathways for horizontal collaborations across Science and Technology Studies (STS), Open Science (OS), and socio-environmental researchers and community organizers.
