The Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) version 6.0 is now available. This release features a new grid coverage data type that eases the process of creating spatial subsets that cross grid boundaries, enhancements to the IDV's volume rendering engine, and improvements to the quality of images captured from the display. Under-the-hood improvements include a switch to the OpenJDK Java libraries and updated software certificates. In addition, this release includes updates to existing features and incorporates the latest netCDF-Java library.
Version 5.0.1 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.
The NCO project is coordinated by Professor Charlie Zender of the Department of Earth System Science, University of California, Irvine. More information about the project, along with binary and source downloads, are available on the SourceForge project page.
AWIPS 18.2.1-1 is a major update to both EDEX and CAVE (on Windows, MacOS, and Centos7/RHEL7). The linux awips_install.sh script has been updated to remove old versions of CAVE and EDEX before installing new versions and backup some /awips2 configuration files.
In this edition of AWIPS Tips, we are answering questions about CAVE's local cache called caveData. It is helpful for both users and administrators of AWIPS to be familiar with caveData for troubleshooting and maintenance. Let's start by first addressing what caveData is.

In this edition of AWIPS Tips, we're exploring the CAVE Product Browser. Did you know that CAVE can access even more datasets than just those listed in the default menus? It can! The complete data inventory is exposed in a side window called the Product Browser. The Product Browser is an explorer-type tree structure that organizes products by category.
Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! Today we're talking about data access with python-awips. If you use Python and need data from an EDEX server, python-awips is the package you need. While there are many utilities of python-awips, today we're focusing on accessing model output. We will walk through a brief explanation of the methods needed in succession to create a final 2D array of temperature from the RAP13 model.
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.
Version 4.9.9 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'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.
