Unidata is governed by its community. Our governing committees facilitate consensus building for future directions of the Unidata Program and establish standards of involvement for the community.
The Unidata Program Center is seeking new people to serve on Unidata's Strategic Advisory and Users Committees. This is your chance to make a difference on behalf of the Unidata community. As William Gallus, the current Chair of the Unidata Strategic Advisory Committee notes, "Serving as a member of these committees puts you in the driver's seat to help shape the future of Unidata and thus the future of real time weather data delivery and the means to work with it."
The National Weather Service is investigating ways to make greater amounts of data available to the geoscience community. Read on for additional information and ways to provide your feedback.
Version 4.4.4 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.
Unidata summer 2014 interns Shawn Cheeks and Florita Rodriguez.
The Unidata Program Center is happy to be hosting two student interns this summer: Florita Rodriguez from Texas A&M Univeristy in College Station, TX, and Shawn Cheeks from Marshall University in Huntington, WV.
The Unidata Summer Internships offer undergraduate and graduate students an opportunity to work with Unidata software engineers and scientists on projects drawn from a wide variety of areas in the atmospheric and computational sciences.
The NetCDF-Java/Common Data Model (CDM) library and THREDDS Data Server (TDS) version 4.3.22 were released on May 27, 2014. The development team recommends this upgrade for anyone using the CDM or TDS.
The Continuously Operating Caribbean Observational Network (COCONet) project, funded by the National Science Foundation, seeks applicants for two graduate research fellowships starting in August or September of 2014. The COCONet Graduate Fellowships provide individual awards between $5,000 and $10,000 per year for a maximum of 2 years to support solid Earth or atmospheric science graduate research projects conducted at a U.S. institution of higher education. The research projects must be within the COCONet footprint or directly use data from the COCONet GPS stations and/or meteorological sensors.
The Unidata Program Center is pleased to announce its 2014 Software Training Workshop. The workshop features Unidata's display and analysis packages GEMPAK (with an introduction to AWIPS-II) and the IDV, as well as data access and management tools including the Local Data Manager (LDM) and the THREDDS Data Server (TDS). This year's workshop will also include a session on using the Python programming language with Unidata technologies.
