Members of the Unidata Program Center staff will be attending the American Geophysical Union 2016 Fall meeting, December 12-16 2016, in San Francisco. The schedule below lists specific sessions at which UPC staff will be presenting or in attendance. See the AGU Fall meeting Scientific Program for additional information on the sessions.
In addition to the talks and poster sessions listed below, Unidata staff will be spending time at the UCAR Community Programs booth (#404) in the Exhibit Hall. Stop by to chat or see Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer in action.
Version 4.4.1.1 of the NetCDF-C library is now available. This is a maintenance release containing several important bug fixes. The Unidata netCDF team recommend migrating to netCDF 4.4.1.1 as soon as is possible to avoid a potential — albeit extremely rare — data loss issue in ncgen specific to 64-bit environments when using netCDF4 compound data types. Please read the full release announcement for details.
Version 4.6.2 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.

StormCenter Communications, Inc., in association with UCAR's COMET program, is holding a GOES-R Workshop for Broadcast Meteorologists on Friday 18 November, 2016 from 1pm to 8pm EST.
The workshop will provide an opportunity for broadcast meteorologists from around the nation to engage with professionals from NOAA and NASA on the launch of the next generation GOES-R weather satellite. GOES-R will carry a high spatial and temporal resolution sensor called the Advanced Baseline Imager (ABI).
Unidata's annual Software Training Workshops at the Unidata Program Center in Boulder, Colorado provide training and guidance on the use of Unidata software packages. While the workshops are 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 17-28, and saw strong attendance from all three groups.
In recent years we have heard from community members that it is more and more difficult to attend training workshops held at the Program Center in Boulder. As a result, we are asking for your input on the sorts of software training that would be most useful, in the hope of maximizing the benefits for our academic members while continuing to serve the larger community.
