Version 4.6.1 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 American Meteorological Society's Board on Environmental Information Processing Technologies (EIPT) wants to let you know that the submission deadline for EIPT papers and posters has been extended until 11 August 2016.
From June 20th to June 24th 2016, Unidata Staff members Ryan May and Sean Arms led a Python Training workshop in Madison, Wisconsin. Within this four-day stretch, two Python training classes were held, each one two full days; the workshop content was based on Unidata's 3-day Annual Python Training Workshop, but tailored to the specific needs of the Space Science and Engineering Center (SSEC) and the Atmospheric and Oceanic Science (AOS) department at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. This was the fourth Python workshop Unidata staff have led, but the first held outside of the Unidata Program Center (UPC), located at UCAR's Foothills Lab in Boulder, Colorado.
The American Meteorological Society's Board on Environmental Information Processing Technologies (EIPT) wants to remind you that the submission deadline for EIPT papers and posters is 3 August 2016. Read on for additional information about the conference and submission process.
The 2016 AGU Fall Meeting, to be held 12-16 December 2016 in San Francisco, California, will include a session titled “Advancing netCDF-CF for the Geoscience Community.”
The converners encourage you to consider contributing to the session by submitting a short abstract for the session. Please read on for details.
Version 4.4.1 of the NetCDF-C library is now available. This release provides official support for libhdf5 1.10.0.
Note: netCDF library 4.4.0 or earlier, combined with libhdf5 1.10.0 or greater, will generate netCDF-4 format files that cannot be read by software using earlier versions of libhdf5 (1.8.x), regardless of the version of netCDF.
Read on for additional highlights of this release beyond support for libhdf5 version 1.10.0.
A workshop on The Rescue of Data At Risk will be held in Boulder, Colorado, on 8-9 September 2016, in association with International Data Week, taking place the following week in Denver.
The workshop is being organized by the joint CODATA Task Group for Data At Risk and the RDA Interest Group for Data Rescue, and is being hosted by NCAR.
Kristen Pozsonyi joined the Unidata Program Center team as a software development summer intern May 23rd, 2016. Kristen is currently working on her Bachelor's degree in Meteorology from Millersville University, with minors in Computer Science and Mathematics.
Alex Haberlie joined the Unidata Program Center team as a software development summer intern on May 23rd, 2016. Alex is working on his PhD at Northern Illinois University, writing a dissertation on the climatology of mesoscale convective systems. Prior to beginning his dissertation, Alex earned his Masters, also at Northern Illinois University, in Geography with an emphasis in meteorology and his Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from University of Wisconsin, Platteville.

The Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) version 5.3 is now available. This version of IDV has notable system, display, and data improvements.
IDV 5.3 takes advantage of the latest versions of the netCDF-Java and VisAD libraries, both of which allow more efficient data access than previous versions. This leads to less memory use on the local system while still providing the same functionality as the prior IDV releases.
