Version 1.5.0 of MetPy, a collection of tools in Python for reading, visualizing, and performing calculations with weather data, has been released. The project aims to mesh well with the rest of the scientific Python ecosystem, including the Numpy, Scipy, and Matplotlib projects, adding functionality specific to meteorology. This release brings a few new features, including the ability to plot fronts and boundaries with appropriate styling as well as parsing WPC surface bulletins.
The MetPy development team is looking for anyone who has used MetPy to take the 2023 MetPy Users Survey. The survey should only take approximately 5-10 minutes and is completely anonymous.
Version 4.6.1 of the netCDF-Fortran library is now available.
The netCDF-Fortran library version 4.6.1 requires the netCDF-C library version 4.9.0 or greater. This release brings refinements and bug testing, and improvements to quantize and zstandard support. You can find the full release notes and source downloads here:
Version 5.1.6 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.
Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! Today we are going to look at how to load two separate image products on the same layer. This is called "Image Combination."
Registration for the 2023 Unidata Users Workshop is open through May 15.
The Unidata Users Committee invites you to join Unidata staff, community members, and distinguished speakers this June in Boulder, Colorado. The goal of this year's workshop is to raise awareness about how to access and use Earth Systems Science data, and to explore approaches to tell the stories of our science in a way that is reproducible, responsible, and robust. Scientists and educators from the Earth Systems Science community will present ideas and techniques for making effective use of geoscience data and share activities, course materials, and ideas for improving education and research.
The workshop, titled Storytelling with Earth System Science Data: Challenges and Opportunities for Effective, Ethical, and Reproducible Science, is scheduled for June 5-8, 2023.
AWIPS 20.3.2-0.2 is a beta release of CAVE. Great news, we've added installers for MacOS and Windows as well as made updates to the Linux and virtual machine option.
