The American Meteorological Society's 93rd annual meeting will be held January 6-10, 2012 in Austin, Texas. As in previous years, the Society will sponsor a Career Fair at the beginning of the meeting.
Participating in the AMS Career Fair is the perfect way for your organization to attract the attention of more than 3,000 professionals, recent graduates, and current students expected to attend the AMS Annual Meeting.
The Cooperative Institute for Climate and Satellites (CICS) at the University of Maryland seeks to fill a professional scientific position for its collaborative research as a Cooperative Institute with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). This position will be associated with the Mesoscale Modeling Branch and the Data Assimilation Team of the National Weather Service (NWS) National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) Environmental Modeling Center (EMC), as well as the Joint Center for Satellite Data Assimilation (JCSDA). The position will be located at the NOAA Climate & Weather Prediction Center in College Park Maryland.
Rutgers students use real-time data to pilot an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
The Coastal Ocean Observation Lab at Rutgers University (RU-COOL) is using Unidata and other open source technologies to collect, process, and make available a wide range of ocean data for use by students and researchers. Their collection of real-time and historical oceanographic datasets will aid in understanding the physical and biological ocean processes impacting the Mid-Atlantic region, leading to improvements in maritime safety and ecosystem-based management strategies.
Members of Unidata's two governing committees gathered in Boulder in September 2012 for a joint meeting to share information and ideas between the committees and with Unidata Program Center staff.
The Open Geospatial Consortium membership has approved the Enhanced Data Model Extension to the OGC Network Common Data Form (netCDF) Core Encoding Standard. The OGC has previously approved the netCDF Core Encoding Standard, the netCDF Binary Encoding Extension Standard-netCDF Classic, and the 64-bit Offset Format. All of the OGC's netCDF standards documents are available for free download from the OGC network Common Data Forum (netCDF) standards suite page.
