Version 5.1.6 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.

Welcome back to AWIPS Tips!

AWIPS 20.3.2-0.2 is a beta release of CAVE. Great news, we've added installers for MacOS and Windows as well as made updates to the Linux and virtual machine option.

Machine Learning systems are often configured around Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) rather than Central Processing Units (CPUs). Why should this be the case, in an era when CPUs are powerful and (relatively) inexpensive? This article provides some insights into what GPUs are and why they provide advantages for certain types of computations, including some commonly used for machine learning and modeling.

The Unidata netCDF team is happy to announce the availability of netCDF 4.9.2 C library.

This release has a handful of bug fixes, and allows for out-of-the-box support for HDF5 1.14.0. Next up, the netCDF team is working on releases for the Fortran and C++ interfaces, as well as working with Unidata's TDS/NetCDF-Java team to ensure that we do not introduce any divergences between the capabilities of netCDF Java and the C library.

Version 5.1.5 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 following are a few of Unidata AI/ML developer Thomas Martin's favorite books on machine learning. These books range from pure theory to hands-on practical Python programming help. They are arranged roughly in order if you are starting your journey into ML, but can also be read out of order.

Version 5.1.4 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.

Welcome back to AWIPS Tips!

With this edition of AWIPS Tips we're excited to highlight one of our power user Universities. The Unidata AWIPS team has had the pleasure of working with the Texas A&M (TAMU) Atmospheric Sciences department for the last several years.

Members of the Unidata Program Center staff will be attending the 103rd annual American Meteorology Society meeting, to be held 8-12 January 2023 in Denver, CO. The schedule below lists sessions or posters presented by staff members. We'll also be spending time in the UCAR booth (#423) in the main Exhibit hall (map).

In this week's AWIPS Tips, we're reflecting on a great year of sharing tips, resources, and announcements with you, the Unidata AWIPS community. All of our posts from 2022 are catalogued below. We're excited to share even more with you in 2023!
