Welcome back to AWIPS Tips, where it's time to talk about time! Specifically, how CAVE handles displaying multiple datasets with different time intervals. CAVE uses the Time Match Basis feature to settle temporal disparities. Watch the video in this post to see it in action.
In the fall of 2020, UCAR's COMET program inaugurated a new resource for instructors teaching university undergraduate meteorology courses. The University Course Support collection is intended to support university faculty and students in their increasingly virtual learning by mapping MetEd lesson content to U.S. university meteorology course curricula.
This week, COMET has announced that the University Course Support resource has added the capability to download images and animations associated with the MetEd lessons. Instructors can now easily integrate these resources into their own lectures and presentations. All graphics and media items are free for reuse for noncommercial, educational purposes.
The National Science Foundation's EarthCube program welcomes those interested in the intersection between cyberinfrastructure and geosciences to attend the 2021 EarthCube Annual Meeting, to be held virtually June 15-17, 2021.
Attendance at the meeting is free. Registration closes May 28, 2021.
Do you know someone in the Unidata community who has been actively involved and helpful to you and other Unidata members? Perhaps this is someone who volunteers to assist others, contributes software, or makes suggestions that are generally useful for the community.
The deadline for nominations has been extended to 11 June, 2021.
Welcome back to **AWIPS Tips**! Today's tip is all about many of the display capabilities in CAVE. When forecasting, you're looking at geographic scales ranging from hemispheric to local, and datasets such as surface and upper-air observations, numerically predicted forecasts from any number of different models, and potentially many others. In CAVE, you can create and label any number of editors to best suit your forecasting needs.
Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! Today we're exploring data visualization with CAVE. Forecasts aren't made from a single product alone-- it's the synthesis of many products that make forecasts robust. CAVE makes it easy to visualize many different datasets using overlays, visibility toggles, panes, and more.
Hi from the AWIPS team at Unidata, Tiffany Meyer and Shay Carter, and welcome to AWIPS Tips! AWIPS is a free meteorological software package for analyzing and displaying weather data. We're kicking off a biweekly blog series called AWIPS Tips, dedicated to highlighting the capabilities of Unidata AWIPS for research and education. Each series entry will showcase a small task or ability of AWIPS and be archived on the AWIPS Tips blog tag.
Today we're sharing an overview of the capabilities of AWIPS.
The Unidata Program Center is pleased to welcome a new member to the Unidata Users Committee. Mr. Tim Foster is a member of the Computer and Information Sciences faculty and Technology and Social Programs Area Chair at Tohono O'Odham Community College in Sells, AZ. He was elected Faculty Senate Vice President in 2018, and has provided Instructional Design services to the University of Arizona UAOnline. Prior to moving to Arizona, Foster was Chief Technology Officer at Lincoln College in Illinois. He has a Master of Arts degree in Applied Sociology from Northern Arizona University.
Providing hands-on training in the use of scientific software is a key component of Unidata's service to the geoscience education and research community. Three members of the Unidata Program Center staff recently took part in teaching an American Meteorological Society Short Course on Python for Climate and Meteorology, held virtually over four half-day sessions March 2, 4, 9 & 11, 2021.
Unidata is governed by its community. Our governing committees facilitate consensus-building for future directions of the Unidata Program and establish standards of involvement for the community. Direct involvement in the Program by the academic community helps Unidata stay on top of trends in education and research; for example, recent initiatives on Python and cloud-based computing have benefitted tremendously from committee advice and involvement.
