Today we're here to talk about the distributed architecture of Unidata's EDEX. Initially, the goal of Unidata's AWIPS team was to simplify the EDEX installation and design so that it could be run on one machine. However, because of the increase in data volumes and feeds, the need for distributing the workflow across more than one machine became apparent.
Unidata offers computer equipment grants to support a variety of projects

Announcing two new microlearning resources available now on Unidata eLearning. Microlearning is a modular approach to online learning that focuses on a single objective. These resources can be appended to existing activities for just-in-time foundational scaffolding in a quick five to ten minutes. The duo of modules releasing today focus on foundational data literacy within the Earth Systems Sciences.
Today we're going to look at another python-awips example notebook. If you aren't familiar with python-awips, please take a look through our previous AWIPS Tips about the package. The notebook we're looking at today is about calculating accumulated precipitation and displaying a region of interest.
