Version 1.4.0 of MetPy, a collection of tools in Python for reading, visualizing, and performing calculations with weather data, has been released. The project aims to mesh well with the rest of the scientific Python ecosystem, including the Numpy, Scipy, and Matplotlib projects, adding functionality specific to meteorology. This release includes a variety of new features and enhancements, as well a variety of fixes for issues encountered by users.
In this week's AWIPS Tips, we're reflecting on a great year of sharing tips, resources, and announcements with you, the Unidata AWIPS community. All of our posts from 2022 are catalogued below. We're excited to share even more with you in 2023!
Since 2018, Unidata has been offering JupyterHub resources tailored to the instructional requirements of university atmospheric science classes through the Science Gateway project. In that time, nearly 850 users — mostly undergraduates in atmospheric science programs — have been able to take advantage of cloud-based resources to access pre-configured computational notebooks for learning and teaching objectives.
For the spring 2023 term, Unidata is once again offering universities (or individual instructors) access to cloud-based JupyterHub servers tailored to the requirements of university atmospheric science courses and workshops. Unidata will work with you to customize the technologies and data requirements for your class.
Members of the Unidata Program Center staff will be attending the 103rd annual American Meteorology Society meeting, to be held 8-12 January 2023 in Denver, CO. The schedule below lists sessions or posters presented by staff members. We'll also be spending time in the UCAR booth (#423) in the main Exhibit hall.
If you have a lab of students who've made procedures, colormaps, displays, etc. (user configurations) but want to upgrade your EDEX without losing those configurations, it is possible!
Do you use Unidata software packages? Do you love to write code or teach others about data-centered Earth System Science? Maybe you're just interested in the interplay of science and data? The Unidata Summer Internship program is looking for you!
The Unidata Summer Internship offers undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to work with Unidata Program Center staff on projects drawn from a wide variety of areas in the atmospheric and computational sciences. Unidata's mission is to support the Earth System Science research and education community with data and tools for data access, analysis, and visualization. As a Unidata intern, you'll pursue the goal of adding innovative enhancements to data access, analysis, and visualization tools developed within Unidata.
