Today we're going to look at another python-awips example notebook. If you aren't familiar with python-awips, please take a look through our previous AWIPS Tips about the package. The notebook we're looking at today is about calculating accumulated precipitation and displaying a region of interest.
Andrea Zonca from the San Diego Supercomputing Center and Jeremy Fischer from Indiana University have been awarded the 2023 Russell L. DeSouza Award by the Unidata Users committee. The DeSouza Award honors “substantive and sustained contributions of energy and expertise to the geosciences community that reflect the ideals of the Unidata Program's mission” to better serve the geosciences.
Today we're going to focus on a few specific tools found in the Tools menu in CAVE. All three tools are related to Distance. We'll take a look at the Distance Bearing, Distance Scale, and Distance Speed tools.
Today we're going to take a more in-depth look at some of the processes running on an EDEX server. EDEX makes use of a concept known as modes. A mode consists of include and exclude statements to enable or disable various capabilities of EDEX.
The Unidata Program Center is pleased to welcome new members to the program's governing committees. Committee members serve three-year terms, meeting twice each year to provide feedback on the effectiveness of the Unidata Program and advise staff on issues facing the university community. Appointments reflect the range of large and small colleges and universities with undergraduate and graduate emphases where Unidata systems are in use.
Read on for a brief introduction to the scientists joining Unidata's committees.
This week we are going to look at modifying the Cities Map resource by constraining the population based on information in the database. This work will be accomplished by modifying the specific bundle file using the Localization Perspective in CAVE.
Unidata offers grants to support a variety of projects
Unidata is happy to announce the Community Equipment Award recipients for 2023. Created under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation, Unidata equipment awards are intended to encourage new members from diverse disciplinary backgrounds in the geosciences to join the Unidata community, and to encourage existing members to continue their active participation, enhancing the community process.
Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! This week we have an exciting update about python-awips! We are proud to officially announce a beta version 20 of python-awips that is compatible with our beta EDEX server (edex-beta.unidata.ucar.edu). This version of python-awips is available for download as a source code installation.
The Unidata Program Center's three summer student interns — Jhamieka Greenwood from Florida State University, Erin Rhoades from Metropolitan State University of Denver, and Jessica Souza from Texas Tech University — have come to the end of their summer appointments. After a summer of dedicated work they presented the results of their projects to the UPC staff on July 27, 2023. You can find videos of their presentations to the UPC staff on the Unidata Seminar Series page.
Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! Today we're going to talk about the Local Data Manager (LDM) and how it's used within AWIPS. LDM is also developed by Unidata, and is a powerful Unidata developed software tool that is used to acquire and distribute data between computers. LDM can be installed independently, however within AWIPS, it is included in the base EDEX installation along with EDEXbridge and many other software components. On EDEX machines it is and installed to /awips2/ldm.
