Members of the Unidata Program Center staff will be attending the American Geophysical Union 2014 Fall meeting, December 15-19 2014, in San Francisco. The schedule below lists specific sessions at which UPC staff will be in attendance. See the AGU Fall meeting Scientific Program for additional information on the sessions.
In addition to talks and poster sessions, Unidata staff will be spending time at the UCAR Community Programs booth (#2404) in the Exhibit Hall. Stop by to chat or see Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer in action.
The University of South Florida is pleased to sponsor and host a Unidata Regional Workshop on April 10-12, 2015 (Friday through Sunday). Unidata Program Center staff will provide introductory and advanced training in the use of Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer (IDV), the Repository for Archiving, Managing and Accessing Diverse Data (RAMADDA), and other Unidata data and tools. In addition to the formal training sessions, there will be informal opportunities to interact with the UPC staff. Attendees are encouraged to "bring" their own data (preferably accessible from a remote access server) for exploration during the workshop.
In case you weren't already aware of it, the Developmental Testbed Center (DTC) at NOAA and NCAR in Boulder, Colorado publishes a quarterly newsletter describing its work on issues involving research to operations (R2O) transitions. The DTC was established to accelerate these transitions, and also to facilitate communication and code transfers in the other direction (operations to research — O2R) to improve the ability of research institutions to have a more direct and timely impact on operations.
The School of Meteorology of University of Oklahoma invites applicants for several post-doctoral research scientist positions in the area of numerical modeling and data assimilation. The successful candidate will work with one of the leading, vibrant and productive teams who conduct active research and development in numerical modeling and data assimilation for various scales and atmospheric phenomena. Successful candidates will conduct research to advance the sciences in numerical modeling, data assimilation, numerical prediction, and predictability.
Version 4.4.6 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.
The NCO project is coordinated by Professor Charlie Zender of the Department of Earth System Science, University of California, Irvine. More information about the project, along with binary and source downloads, are available on the SourceForge project page.
