Sometime Unidata Program Center software developer and MetPy Mondays host John Leeman is holding a week-long Generalist Electromechanics for Applied Researchers (GEARS) workshop August 1-5, 2022; registration is open through July 6.
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. Direct involvement in the Program by the academic community helps Unidata stay on top of trends in education and research; for example, recent initiatives on Python and cloud-based computing have benefited tremendously from committee advice and involvement.
Note: The deadline for nominations to serve on Unidata's governing committees has been extended until August 1, 2022. We are especially in need of individuals from diverse institutions in the geosciences who can help set Unidata's course for the coming decade as part of our Strategic Advisory Committee.

Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! Today we're going to talk about some more functionality with python-awips. If you aren't familiar with python-awips, please check out some of our previous blog posts explaining some of the existing functionality. This blog entry will be focused on our notebook for creating METAR station plots.
