The Unidata Program Center is pleased to announce its 2013 Software Training Workshop. The workshop features our display and analysis packages GEMPAK (with an introduction to AWIPS-II) and the IDV, data access and management tools, the Local Data Manager (LDM), the Network Common Data Form (netCDF), and the THREDDS Data Server (TDS).
The workshop will be held July 23 - August 8, 2013. Individual courses last from one to four days.
The Open Geospatial Consortium membership has adopted the Climate and Forecast (CF) extension to the existing OGC Network Common Data Form (NetCDF) Core Encoding Standard version 1.0. All of the OGC's netCDF standards documents are available for free download from the OGC network Common Data Forum (netCDF) standards suite page.
The Open Geospatial Consortium membership has approved the Enhanced Data Model Extension to the OGC Network Common Data Form (netCDF) Core Encoding Standard. The OGC has previously approved the netCDF Core Encoding Standard, the netCDF Binary Encoding Extension Standard-netCDF Classic, and the 64-bit Offset Format. All of the OGC's netCDF standards documents are available for free download from the OGC network Common Data Forum (netCDF) standards suite page.
IDV 3.1 was released recently. Some of the major new features in this release include simplified capture of multi-view images and movies, enhanced labeling of latitude and longitude lines in map displays, and a new Time Matching feature that allows you to create a seamless animation of multiple displays whose data were collected at different time steps. Read further for additional details on these new features.
Version 6.11.0 of the LDM package has been released.
The main new feature of this minor release is the addition of a transitory database of information on local upstream LDM processes. The database is transitory because it only exists while an LDM server is running. The database is primarily used to determine whether or not an incoming data-request duplicates or otherwise overlaps with an existing data-request from the same downstream host. If it does, then the request will be rejected.
