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.
Hi All, I wanted to introduce myself to the Unidata AWIPS community. I’m Tiffany Meyer and am the new Lead AWIPS Engineer at Unidata and will be working with Shay Carter. Before joining Unidata, I had been at the Cooperative Institute for Mesoscale Meteorological Studies (CIMMS), a collaborative research facility sponsored by the University of Oklahoma. During my first three years at CIMMS, I worked with the NWS Warning Decision Training Division as the AWIPS-2 Focal Point creating training for the National Weather Service. The last five years I’ve been working with NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory as the NOAA Hazardous Weather Testbed (HWT) Program Coordinator and Technical Lead where I integrated new experimental products into AWIPS for NWS forecasters from around the country to come to the HWT to test and provide feedback. While having quite a bit of experience with AWIPS-2 in the operational community, I am excited to transition into the academic side of the use of AWIPS at Unidata where we can be more creative and flexible. With only starting a month ago, I’m still getting an understanding of the differences and configuration of the Unidata AWIPS. I know Shay sent out a short survey last November after she started, and I’d like to follow that up with another survey that goes into a little more detail of what datasets and functionality you use, so we can focus our initial efforts on what is most important to our users! If you could please take a few minutes to fill out the anonymous survey, the AWIPS team here at Unidata would greatly appreciate it. It can be found at: https://forms.gle/HuoYJmWjfcRT8vrRA. Please feel free to pass this survey along to anyone else you know of that uses Unidata's AWIPS. Also, if you know of others that use AWIPS and are not on this mailing list, please encourage them to join the "awips2-users" list at: https://www.unidata.ucar.edu/support/index.html#mailinglists For specific support questions/problems please email: support-awips@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thank you for your time, ~Tiffany -- Tiffany Meyer AWIPS Lead Software Engineer IV UCAR - Unidata
