If you are a student, educator, or researcher in the Earth Science community, your work probably involves a broad range of digital content — web pages, documents, photos, GIS data, instrument data, model data, etc. RAMADDA, the Repository for Archiving and MAnaging Diverse DAta, provides a place to manage all of this digital stuff.
RAMADDA makes it easy to manage all sorts of digital content, from documents and images to scientific data files in a variety of flavors. Data harvesting features allow the system to ingest available data and process spatial, temporal, and faceted metadata automatically for use in the system's search interface. Content can also be added to the system manually. And RAMADDA makes it easy to create engaging web interfaces to display the digital content using a wiki facility.
Bobby Espinoza joined the Unidata Program Center's software development team on February, 7 2022.

They received their Master's degree in Atmospheric Science in 2021.
Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! This week we're back with another post about the capabilities of python-awips. If you haven't seen any of our previous entries about python-awips, please take a glance through them to familiarize yourself with the python package. This week we are focusing on model (grid) data, and how to colorize and plot it using the python package Cartopy. Follow along using the Colorized Grid Data notebook.
The American Meteorological Society has announced that the 102st annual meeting, to be held 22-27 January 2022, will be held virtually rather than in the hybrid format previously envisioned. See below for details on participation by Unidata staff.
A new minor release (version 18.2.1-4) of AWIPS EDEX has been made for Linux servers. No changes have been made to CAVE since the 18.2.1-3 release, however the version for Linux has been updated to 18.2.1-4.
