Due to the current gap in continued funding from the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), the NSF Unidata Program Center has temporarily paused most operations. See NSF Unidata Pause in Most Operations for details.

AWIPS II Imagery

Status Report: April 2013 - September 2013

Michael James, Linda Miller, Jeff Weber

Current Capabilities

AWIPS II has the capability to display nearly the entire IDD/LDM datastream. It currently does not have a decoder to apply to the (National Profiler Network) NPN native netCDF data on the FSL2 feedtype. Given the NPN "budget" this may not be a big issue. Unidata is currently visualizing grids, satellite, radar, and text.
