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.
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.
There are a few AWIPS configuration changes to EDEX to address the change in GFS FV3 model data. As of June 16, 2020 NCEP changed the Vertical Velocity and Total Precipitation parameters in the GFS FV3 suite that come over NOAAPort. Read on for more detailed information about the changes from NCEP and Unidata.
AWIPS 18.1.1-5 is a major update to both CAVE and EDEX, including a security update to the latest httpd/mod_wsgi packages.
EDEX administrators should be aware that localization levels have changed, and Unidata AWIPS no longer supports REGION, DESK, or WORKSTATION levels.
EDEX administrators should be aware that USER-level localization names have been merged with the WORKSTATION name, that is, what used to be USER awips will now be USER awips@<workstation name>.
It may be required that EDEX admins migrate saved USER procedures and bundles to the new naming system, which may be tedious, but is necessary for use of CAVE in a classroom and lab setting going forward. This update prevents users from overwriting each other's customizations if they happen to have the same username.
WarnGen bug fixes: for practice sessions, the WarnGen app no longer uses JMS to send/verify messages between client and server, instead sending the generated message directly to a TextWS window for editing, keeping everything client-side.
postgis update to 2.4.4 to fix segfault signal 11 when WarnGen requests EDEX PostgreSQL to create coverage area geometries.
geos update to 3.6.2.
gdal update to 2.2.4.
proj update to 5.1.0.
postgresql and psql update to 9.5.13 to account for new versions of postgis, gdal, and proj, and to remove the geos dependency.
shapely update to 1.6.4 after geos dep update to 3.6.2.
NCP Resource Manager cleanup of unused resources (Linux only).
Unidata AWIPS 17.1.1-5 is now available for Red Hat/CentOS 6/7 and macOS. Unidata AWIPS is a meteorological display and analysis package originally developed by the National Weather Service and Raytheon, repackaged by Unidata to support non-operational use in research and education.
Unidata AWIPS 17.1.1 is now available for Red Hat/CentOS 6/7 and macOS. Please see the AWIPS User Manual for installation instructions: https://unidata.github.io/awips2/
This is a major release which includes support for GOES-16(R) ABI and GLM and a retooling of WarnGen for non-operational use.
