The High Impact Weather Prediction Project (HIWPP) is a collaboration between a dozen or more organizations led by the NOAA Office of Oceanic and Atmospheric Research (OAR) Earth System Research Laboratory (ESRL) and the OAR/Office of Weather and Air Quality. As previously reported, the HIWPP project management is working to develop ways to engage the public and the scientific community in the project. Read on for details on how to participate.
Every year, the Unidata Program Center hosts a Software Training Workshop in Boulder, Colorado to provide training and guidance on the use of Unidata software packages. While the workshop is designed primarily to benefit the academic community, representatives from government agencies and commercial entities are also invited to participate. This year's workshop ran from October 21 - November 6, and saw strong attendance from all three groups.
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.
