The UCAR COSMIC (Constellation Observing System for Meteorology, Ionosphere, and Climate) Program's 2023 GNSS Remote Sensing Colloquium will be held in-person June 5-16, 2023 in Boulder, Colorado. Sponsored by NASA, NOAA, NSF, and NSPO, this colloquium aims to educate a new generation of scholars to advance the techniques and applications of GNSS remote sensing, and provide "hands-on" project learning experience in small groups.
The Unidata Users Committee invites you to join Unidata staff, community members, and guests for a community workshop to take place 5-8 June 2023 as a hybrid (in-person and/or virtual) event hosted in Boulder, Colorado. While the detailed agenda is still under construction, the overarching theme for the workshop is Storytelling with Earth System Science Data: Challenges and Opportunities for Effective, Ethical, and Reproducible Science.
Sometime Unidata Program Center software developer and MetPy Mondays host John Leeman is holding a week-long Generalist Electromechanics for Applied Researchers (GEARS) workshop August 1-5, 2022; registration is open through July 6.
This event's registration is now closed. Announcing the next offering of the Introduction to MetPy virtual workshop! This 4-hour interactive workshop is designed to introduce participants to the MetPy Python package and accessing data products made available by Unidata. If you or someone you know has an interest in getting started with MetPy workflows, this is an optimal place to start.
Providing hands-on training in the use of scientific software is a key component of Unidata's service to the geoscience education and research community. Three members of the Unidata Program Center staff recently took part in teaching an American Meteorological Society Short Course on Python for Climate and Meteorology, held virtually over four half-day sessions March 2, 4, 9 & 11, 2021.
Students! Are you looking to make the transition to Python but unsure of where to start? Do you already know Python but want to see atmospheric science specific applications? Are you looking for data? If so, then please join us for a hands-on AMS Student Conference Python Workshop where beginners and experts alike will learn skills that enhance their ability to find, analyze, and explore data. All the workshop resources will be in the cloud, so no specialized local software installations are necessary. All you need is a laptop or tablet (a keyboard may be helpful) and a GitHub ID to participate.
The conventions for CF (Climate and Forecast) metadata are designed to promote the processing and sharing of files created with the NetCDF API. There will be a virtual workshop to meet and discuss CF-related topics held June 9-11, 2020; meetings are limited to three hours each day.
The University of Alaska, Fairbanks will be hosting a Unidata Regional Software Training Workshop April 22-23, 2020. Unidata software developers will be leading the two-day Python-focused workshop, which will cover the use of the MetPy and Siphon packages in the context of atmospheric science. A basic familiarity with Python is assumed — check out the Unidata Online Python Training for a refresher.
Unidata holds regional workshops in part to facilitate easy access to software training for those who may not be able to travel to training workshops held at the Unidata Program Center in Boulder, Colorado. Attendance is explicitly not limited to local students and staff; we encourage those within the state of Alaska to consider attending. Financial support is available for those that must travel from outside Fairbanks.
The Unidata Users Committee is organizing a series of regional workshops designed to follow the 2018 Unidata Users Workshop Reducing Time to Science: Evolving Workflows for Geoscience Research and Education. These follow-on workshops will explore tools to access data and strategies for teaching computational concepts. Each one-day workshop will bring together geoscience educators, pedagogical experts, and Unidata staff to discuss and share best practices for helping students engage in data-enabled science.
