Do you use Unidata software packages? Do you love to write code? The Unidata Summer of Code internship program is looking for you!
The Unidata Summer of Code internship program will be hosting a graduate student intern from late May through August 2012. The USoC intern will be on-site at the Unidata Program Center in Boulder, Colorado, and will have 12 weeks to radically improve one of Unidata's software packages. Pick one you love and make it better! Pick one you're not in love with and reveal its true beauty.

The Unidata Program Center would like to remind members of our community that the deadline for the 2012 Unidata Community Equipment Awards is March 9, 2012.
Created under the sponsorship of the National Science Foundation, Unidata equipment awards are intended to encourage new members from diverse disciplinary backgrounds in the geosciences to join the Unidata community, and to encourage existing members to continue their active participation, enhancing the community process. For 2012, a total of $100,000 is available for awards; proposals for amounts up to $20,000 will be considered.
Tenure Track/Non-Tenure Track Assistant/Associate Professor to teach introductory and higher level undergraduate meteorology courses in the Applied Meteorology program. A PhD in Meteorology, Atmospheric Sciences, Climatology, or related field is required along with a proven record of teaching and professional meteorological experiences. Preferred: extensive meteorological experience in aviation/aerospace.
Professors and students from the departments of Computer Science and Earth Sciences at Millersville University are using Unidata's Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) as the platform for an application to let students explore meteorological data in three dimensions.
The application, known as the Geosciences Probe Of Discovery, or Geopod, uses the IDV's "Flythrough" facility to give the experience of navigating through 3D meteorological data sets as if in an airplane.
Residents of Boulder, Colorado are familiar with the Chinook winds that bring warm, dry air down from the mountains to the west of town. To composer and musician Nathan Hall, however, the Chinook represented a source of musical inspiration as well. With the help of NCAR and UCAR staff including Unidata Program Center scientist Jeff Weber, Hall used weather data from the Boulder area as the basis for a 7-minute composition and video titled, fittingly, "Chinook."
