The netCDF team at the Unidata Program Center is happy to announce that the source code repositories for the netCDF C, Fortran, and C++ libraries are now publicly available on GitHub. The netCDF libraries join other Unidata projects including THREDDS, IDV, GEMPACK, and the LDM at the Unidata GitHub repository.
The American Meteorological Society's Board on Data Stewardship will be organizing sessions on topics related to Data Stewardship at the 94th AMS Annual Meeting, which will take place 2-6 February 2014 in Atlanta, GA.
Deadline Extended — abstracts for the Data Stewardship sessions will now be accepted until is 15 August 2013.
The NetCDF-Java/Common Data Model (CDM) library and THREDDS Data Server (TDS) version 4.3.18 were released on August 1, 2013. The development team recommends this upgrade for anyone using the CDM or TDS.
Version 4.3.4 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.
The Valparaiso University Meteorology program strives to keep current with meteorological technologies so students can maximize their educational opportunities. Valparaiso University's Meteorology program was awarded a 2012 Community Equipment Award grant to allow it to serve as a test school for the deployment of AWIPS II. Because our program has limited resources and infrastructure support, we provide an ideal "small school" test case for the deployment of AWIPS II.
Version 4.3.3 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.
The Unidata Program Center has received notification that NOAA's Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite GOES-12 (currently in the GOES-South position, formerly covering the GOES-East position) will be decommissioned on August 16, 2013.
A post-doctoral position (PDF) is available from Fall 2013 (potentially from 1 October 2013) in the Department of Physics at the University of Toronto. This two-year position is in the field of infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy for atmospheric remote sounding. The PDF will be part of a team developing a new payload for solar occultation measurements from a high-altitude balloon platform to measure profiles of trace gases and aerosols. The PDF will be responsible for the operation of a high-resolution infrared Fourier transform spectrometer. The position is based in Toronto, Canada and will be jointly supervised by Prof. Kaley Walker and Dr. Pierre Fogal. This position will involve travel and extended field work. Salary is commensurate with experience.
