Let me add my thanks for all the help that Gilbert provides to the community.
Being a beta tester is no fun and can be very time consuming. Gilbert helps out
a lot of folks (including me) who depend on him for his experience and
insights.
It goes without saying that Steve, Tom, and others at Unidata have provided a
high level of service for many years to the entire weather community. I’ve had
the pleasure of working with the folks at Unidata since about the early 1990’s
and have experienced that interaction as a NWS employee, Auburn University
representative, and now in the private sector. Unidata has been a major part of
the growth and modernization of meteorology in the United States and globally.
