The Cooperative Opportunity for NCEP Data Using IDD Technology (CONDUIT) uses Unidata's Local Data Manager (LDM) and Internet Data Distribution (IDD) technologies to make high-resolution model data sets available to the U.S. Weather Research Program (USWRP) and university communities. These NCEP model data consist of a substantial set of NCEP and NWS model data not currently available on NOAAPort.
NCEP and Unidata are in the process of evaluating the contents of the CONDUIT data feed. We would like your help in determining which of the model output currently included in the feed are in use, which are candidates for removal from the feed, and which new model runs (if any) should be added to the feed.
The survey should take fewer than five minutes of your time. Please give us your feedback!
On March 6, 2012 several members of the Unidata Program Center staff traveled to the National Weather Service's Weather Forecast Office (WFO) in Boulder, Colorado for an update on AWIPS II system testing. Nezette Rydell, Meteorologist in Charge at the Denver/Boulder WFO, provided background information on the AWIPS II operational testing process and current status. Meteorologist David Barjenbruch provided a demonstration of how AWIPS II will be used in the WFO. The visit was a part of the UPC's ongoing involvement with the AWIPS II project and efforts to make the system available to the university community once it is operational.
Do you use Unidata software packages? Do you love to write code? The Unidata Summer of Code internship program is looking for you!
The Unidata Summer of Code internship program will be hosting a graduate student intern from late May through August 2012. The USoC intern will be on-site at the Unidata Program Center in Boulder, Colorado, and will have 12 weeks to radically improve one of Unidata's software packages. Pick one you love and make it better! Pick one you're not in love with and reveal its true beauty.
