THREDDS development is now switching to version 5.0 which will require Java 8. Version 5 is a major upgrade and some of the APIs will change. Deprecated classes will be moved to a legacy jar and will not be supported. If you are a developer, you will need to test the new version against your code. We expect to have an alpha release out by July for that purpose.
Version 4.4.9 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.
Workshop registration is open until June 15, 2015. Note that while we can no longer guarantee that lodging at the workshop hotel will be available, if you wish to attend and need lodging in Boulder you can contact the Workshop Coordinator to discuss options.
The workshop will be held June 22-25 in Boulder, Colorado. The Unidata Users Committee invites you to join other community members, distinguished presenters from academia and industry, and Unidata staff to raise awareness of important new trends in geoscience technology, including cloud computing, data management, and the place of the Python language in geoscience computing infrastructure. The workshop is a chance for the academic community and share hands-on activities, course materials, and ideas for improving research and education.
The NetCDF-Java/Common Data Model (CDM) library and THREDDS Data Server (TDS) version 4.6.1 were released on May 15, 2015. The development team recommends this upgrade for anyone using the CDM or TDS. The latest update can be downloaded from:
Workshop Update: We have received confirmation from the NSF that this year's workshop will take place as planned. If you were waiting to register, now is the time!

The High Impact Weather Prediction Project (HIWPP) team has announced that output from the experimental, high-resolution NAVGEM model has been added to the HIWPP Open Data Initiative Real-time Data service.
The Geographic Information Systems program at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) seeks to foster sharing of knowledge about the Earth system using GIS tools. The program encompasses a number of projects aimed at integrating natural and social sciences data in GIS, improving spatial the accuracy and usability of weather and climate models, and building capacity in the atmospheric science community.
