Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! AWIPS uses a hierarchical system known as Localization to allow site and user-specific customizations of many aspects of EDEX and CAVE, such as available menu items, color maps, and derived parameters. In Unidata's AWIPS there are four defined localization levels:
Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! Today we're going to take a look at a few property options in CAVE. Specifically, we're going to look at the Display Properties dialog which is found in the Options menu. The dialog should look something like this (this screenshot was taken on our MacOS version of CAVE):
Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! Today we're going to talk about a nuanced topic regarding data in CAVE. Normally, when we talk about data, we tend to categorize it by the data type – ie. model (grib), satellite, observation, etc. Today we're going to look at data from a different perspective and try to elaborate on the difference between graphic and image products. While normally it does not make much of a difference, it can be useful to realize what type of product you're working with when you want to "style" or configure the loaded data.
In this week's AWIPS Tips, we're announcing a new eLearning course, Learn Python-AWIPS. This is an asynchronous web course that can be accessed on demand at Unidata eLearning. All of our educational resources are also available on our website.
Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! This week we are going to learn how to use drawing properties for customizing Watches, Warnings, and Advisories (WWAs) in CAVE. The drawing properties allow you to customize the visibility of text, time, outline, and thatched fill individually between types of records and resources. The display settings also allow you to show or hide sampling for each record type in the resource. Watch the short video below on how to use drawing properties in CAVE.
Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! Today we would like to highlight the very first Unidata AWIPS summer intern. This summer, the AWIPS team was lucky enough to have Rhoen Fiutak join us for her Unidata internship. Her projects centered around AWIPS and had a focus on instructional design. She was able to make contributions to different aspects of python-awips, CAVE, and our very own AWIPS Tips series.
The Unidata Program Center's three summer student interns — Hassanpreet Dhaliwal from Texas Tech University, Rhoen Fiutak from the Colorado School of Mines, and Nathaniel Martinez from the University of Chicago — have come to the end of their summer appointments. Following two years of COVID-19 travel restrictions, Hassanpreet, Rhoen, and Nathaniel were able to join us at the Unidata Program Center in Boulder. After a summer of dedicated work they presented the results of their projects to the UPC staff on July 27, 2022. You can find videos of their presentations to the UPC staff on the Unidata Seminar Series page.
Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! In today's blog, we're going to describe how GOES satellite data is ingested by EDEX. If you ever need to troubleshoot GOES satellite products on your EDEX, you can use this blog to guide you through verifying the correct setup of the configuration files and learn other relevant information. We will start by detailing the initial components, then demonstrate an example.
