Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! Today we're going to take a look at another python-awips example notebook. This notebook deals with a special EDEX access method that uses ModelSounding objects in python-awips. We'll see the importance of creating functions and how that allows us to quickly and easily compare output from different datasets.
Today we're taking the chance to highlight a few colorized GOES products that are produced by the Cooperative Institute for Research in the Atmosphere (CIRA) at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, Colorado. The three products we're looking at today are RGB (red-green-blue) combinations for Cloud-Snow Coverage, DEBRA Dust, and GeoColor images.
This week we dive back into more details about managing your own EDEX server! If you are currently running and maintaining an EDEX of your own, and you haven't already, please check out our existing AWIPS Tips for EDEX. Today, we're going to talk about how to remove individual grib datasets from your EDEX immediately.
Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! Today we're going to take a look at another python-awips example notebook. This notebook walks users through how to request, modify, and visualize Upper Air Sounding data that is originally in BUFR format. Similar to most of our example notebooks, this one begins by creating an EDEX connection and then setting the data type. In this example we use the corresponding bufrua data type to request the BUFR sounding data.
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.
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:
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."
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.
