The Unidata Program Center is partnering with UCAR's COSMIC program to provide radio occultation data provided by Spire Global. The products described below are now available via the Internet Data Distribution (IDD) network. Data are on the EXP feed with a typical total volume of 80-110 MB per hour.
In this blog we are going to show you how to create a new projection and add it to the drop down scales menu in CAVE. For this scenario, we are assuming you have access to both CAVE and EDEX servers (ex. running your own EDEX).
On January 24, 2023, NOAA released Service Change Notice 22-77, describing the change of relay satellite for all SBN services (NOAAPort and NWWS) from Intelsat's Galaxy 28 to the newly launched Galaxy 31. For ground station operators, this move is non-trivial in that the location of Galaxy 28 is geostationary over 89°W, and Galaxy 31 is geostationary over 121°W.
The following guide is intended to help operators who are not familiar with repointing a satellite dish to provide the information to a professional satellite technician.
This year's annual American Meteorological Society meeting was held 8-12 January 2023 in Denver, Colorado. In addition to the conference being a hybrid event with thousands physically in attendance (which felt a bit odd, after the last few years), the location being so close to the Unidata Program Center in Boulder meant more than the usual number of staff members were able to attend as presenters of talks and posters, conveners of sessions, and facilitators of workshops and short courses for students, educators, and researchers. Staff members also spent time meeting community members in the new exhibit hall booth bringing together a variety of UCAR and NCAR programs in one space. As always, we were also glad to meet so many prospective community members at the AMS Student Conference.
With so much going on at the conference, we can't cover everything here. Instead, we present some highlights from the week's events.
Version 5.1.4 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.
