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 Users, As of June 16, 2020 NCEP changed the Vertical Velocity and Total Precipitation parameters in the GFS FV3 suite that come over NOAAPort. At Unidata we've made configuration changes to our EDEX system to ingest the correct parameters and display them in the CAVE menu. The GFS parameter changes are: - GFS Vertical Vorticity parameter changed from VVEL (pascals/s) to DZDT (m/s) - GFS Precip Accumulations changed from hourly/3-hourly/6-hourly accumulation to total accumulation over the forecast period CAVE users who connect to the Unidata cloud EDEX, will only need to remove caveData in their home directory and restart CAVE. EDEX users will just have to run a script and restart EDEX: 1.
