The Unidata Program Center has received notification that NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite GOES-12 (currently in the GOES-South position, formerly covering the GOES-East position) will be decommissioned on August 16, 2013.
A post-doctoral position (PDF) is available from Fall 2013 (potentially from 1 October 2013) in the Department of Physics at the University of Toronto. This two-year position is in the field of infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy for atmospheric remote sounding. The PDF will be part of a team developing a new payload for solar occultation measurements from a high-altitude balloon platform to measure profiles of trace gases and aerosols. The PDF will be responsible for the operation of a high-resolution infrared Fourier transform spectrometer. The position is based in Toronto, Canada and will be jointly supervised by Prof. Kaley Walker and Dr. Pierre Fogal. This position will involve travel and extended field work. Salary is commensurate with experience.
A post-doctoral position (PDF) is available beginning in Fall 2013 (potentially from October 2013) in the Department of Physics at the University of Toronto. This position is associated with the Atmospheric Chemistry Experiment (ACE) satellite mission and is funded by the Canadian Space Agency/Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council for two years.

Lyndon State College is seeking an individual with knowledge and experience in computer science and meteorology to oversee and manage the equipment, lab, computing clusters, data and web servers, workstations, and network of the Atmospheric Sciences Department.
Version 4.3.2 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.
Data from an ncWMS server visualized using GIS desktop software
ncWMS is an Open Source implementation of the Open Geospatial Consortium's Web Map Service (WMS) specification for multidimensional gridded environmental data. ncWMS can read data in a large number of common scientific data formats — notably the NetCDF format with the Climate and Forecast (CF) conventions — and efficiently generate map imagery in thousands of different coordinate reference systems.
