Version 4.4.1.1 of the NetCDF-C library is now available. This is a maintenance release containing several important bug fixes. The Unidata netCDF team recommend migrating to netCDF 4.4.1.1 as soon as is possible to avoid a potential — albeit extremely rare — data loss issue in ncgen specific to 64-bit environments when using netCDF4 compound data types. Please read the full release announcement for details.
Version 4.6.2 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.

StormCenter Communications, Inc., in association with UCAR's COMET program, is holding a GOES-R Workshop for Broadcast Meteorologists on Friday 18 November, 2016 from 1pm to 8pm EST.
The workshop will provide an opportunity for broadcast meteorologists from around the nation to engage with professionals from NOAA and NASA on the launch of the next generation GOES-R weather satellite. GOES-R will carry a high spatial and temporal resolution sensor called the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI).
Unidata's annual Software Training Workshops at the Unidata Program Center in Boulder, Colorado provide training and guidance on the use of Unidata software packages. While the workshops are designed primarily to benefit the academic community, representatives from government agencies and commercial entities are also invited to participate. This year's workshop ran from October 17-28, and saw strong attendance from all three groups.
In recent years we have heard from community members that it is more and more difficult to attend training workshops held at the Program Center in Boulder. As a result, we are asking for your input on the sorts of software training that would be most useful, in the hope of maximizing the benefits for our academic members while continuing to serve the larger community.

NOAA is looking to hire four Meteorologist/Forecasters for positions at the National Weather Service (NWS), National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP), Climate Prediction Center (CPC), Operational Prediction Branch. All four vacancies are in College Park, MD.
The Unidata Program Center is hiring! We are looking for a scientific software developer to join our team in creating and maintaining software and data services to support the geosciences.
As part of the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR) in Boulder, CO, Unidata offers competitive salaries and great benefits. UCAR was selected as one of the Best Companies to Work For in Colorado. Simply put, Unidata is a great place to work. Unidata's team environment provides high levels of autonomy and responsibility with great opportunity to excel individually and contribute to the team's success.
As part of an ongoing effort at the Unidata Program Center to bring Python-based workflows to the atmospheric science community, UPC developers have created the Unidata Jupyter Notebook Gallery to showcase tools and techniques that may be of interest to community members. The gallery is a collection of Jupyter notebooks that demonstrate ways to work with atmospheric science data using Python. The notebooks use a variety of tools available in the Python ecosystem, including several developed by Unidata.
