During the weekend of April 10-12 2015, the University of South Florida (USF) was host to a Unidata Regional Workshop on the use of Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer (IDV), the open source Repository for Archiving, Managing, and Accessing Diverse Data (RAMADDA), and the Advanced Weather Interactive Processing System (AWIPS II). The workshop was organized by Dr. Jennifer Collins, with assistance from her students Randall Hergert, Heather Key and Leilani Paxton, in collaboration with Unidata Program Center staff members Tom Yoksas, Yuan Ho, and Michael James. The workshop was sponsored by USF, Florida Institute of Technology (FIT) and the West Central Florida Chapter of the American Meteorological Society.
Unidata's demonstration THREDDS Data Server (TDS) at https://thredds.ucar.edu/thredds/ is currently running version 4.5 of the TDS server software. On May 18, 2015, this server will be updated to use TDS version 4.6. Read on for details on the new version and transition options.
Registration is now open for Unidata's 2015 Software Training Workshop. The workshop features Unidata's display and analysis packages IDV and AWIPS-II (with GEMPAK), as well as data access and management tools including the Local Data Manager (LDM) and the THREDDS Data Server (TDS). This year's workshop will also include a session on using the Python programming language with Unidata technologies.
The workshop will be held July 20 – August 5, 2015. Individual courses last from one to three days.
Registration for the 2015 Undiata Users Workshop is now open.
The Unidata Users Committee invites you to join Unidata staff, community members, and distinguished speakers this June in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of this year's workshop is to raise awareness of important new trends in geoscience technology, including cloud computing, data management, and the place of the Python language in geoscience computing infrastructure. The workshop is a chance for the academic community and share hands-on activities, course materials, and ideas for improving research and education.
The workshop, titled Data-Driven Geoscience: Applications, Opportunities, Trends, and Challenges, is scheduled for June 22-25, 2015.
Unidata's Motherlode demonstration server is currently in service. The machine was adversely affected by a power problem that necessitated the replacement of its power controller.
While Motherlode has been back in service since Saturday, we are still diagnosing some remaining issues that appear to have resulted from the original hardware problem. As a result, we are not yet ready to give the server a clean bill of health, and advise the community that the machine may experience additional down-time in the coming days.
We regret any inconvenience caused by interruptions in access to the demonstration server. Thank you for your patience while we finish resolving the hardware issues.
