This year's annual American Meteorological Society meeting was held 27 January - 1 February 2024 in Baltimore, MD. Several NSF Unidata staff members were able to travel to Baltimore to lead workshops, visit with students, present papers and posters, and otherwise take part in the conference. As always, staff members spent some time meeting with community members at UCAR's exhibit hall booth. The following are some of the conference highlights from the perspective of NSF Unidata staff.
The Federation of Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP) is an open networked community that brings together science, data and information technology practitioners around Earth science issues.
The Raskin Scholarship is open to current graduate students in Earth or computer sciences who has an interest in community evolution of Earth Science data systems. Preference is given to applicants who can demonstrate a connection to ESIP-related activities.
Your idea of what's entailed in setting up a supervised Machine Learning (ML) project as an Earth Systems scientist is probably not as fanciful as what an image generation algorithm came up with. But there are many little decisions ML practitioners make along the way when starting an Earth Systems Science (ESS) ML project. This article provides some tips and ideas to consider as you're getting started. These tips are not in any particular order, and like all things related to ML projects they depend on the specific types of data and project goals.
Do you know someone in the Unidata community who has been actively involved and helpful to you and other Unidata members? Perhaps this is someone who volunteers to assist others, contributes software, or makes suggestions that are generally useful for the community.
The Unidata Users Committee invites you to submit nominations for the Russell L. DeSouza Award for Outstanding Community Service. This Community Service Award honors individuals whose energy, expertise, and active involvement enable the Unidata Program to better serve the geosciences. Honorees personify Unidata's ideal of a community that shares ideas, data, and software through computing and networking technologies.
You may have noticed a change on this web site recently: where you might expect to see the name "Unidata" you are now beginning to see "NSF Unidata" in its place. Just what's going on?
