The NSF Unidata 2025 Community Survey is closing on Friday, June 2025. If you have not yet had a chance to let us know how we can help you achieve your Earth Systems Science research and teaching goals, please do take some time to do so now. As a community-focused program, NSF Unidata relies on input from educators, researchers, students, and professionals working across the Earth Systems Sciences. Whether you're a longtime user or new to our offerings, your voice plays a critical role in shaping the future of NSF Unidata.

If you provide Earth Systems Science learning opportunities at the post-secondary levels or within the workforce, UCAR needs your input! UCAR would love to hear about any learning opportunities that you offer on emerging ESS capabilities — ranging from AI/ML and data management to relationship building, creativity, and more — that are needed in the workplace now and in the future. Help UCAR understand your priorities and any obstacles to providing education, training, and support for these capabilities.

As a community-governed program, Unidata depends on guidance and feedback from current and prospective users in the atmospheric and geoscience community. This includes educators, researchers, students, and professionals within the government and private sectors. The 2021 Unidata Users Committee Community Survey seeks your feedback both on existing Unidata services and possible future directions for the program. Your ideas will help inform Unidata's path forward; your participation is much appreciated.
The Committee on Data (CODATA) of the Paris-based International Science Council promotes open data policies, working to advance the interoperability and usability of research data. The Committee is committed to supporting FAIR data principles to improve the Findability, Accessibility, Interoperability, and Reuse of digital assets.
Within the CODATA organizational umbrella, Unidata software developer Steven Emmerson has joined the Digital Representation of Units of Measure (DRUM) Task Group, which aims to raise the profile of the digital representation of units of measure in research communities, representative and governing bodies, and with funders. DRUM takes the position that support for consistent digital representations of units of measurement is of far-reaching importance for science, technology, industry, and trade.
Unidata's AWIPS development team is looking for input from users of Unidata's AWIPS distribution. They'd like to learn about which datasets you're currently using or would like to use, and which features of AWIPS are most important for your workflows.
