Welcome back to AWIPS Tips! With last month’s release of AWIPS, we have updated Unidata's public EDEX to include new GOES products like Geocolor, CloudSnow, and DebraDust. Check out this video below to see how you can create your own GOES geocolor plots using Jupyter Notebooks and python-awips without downloading any data.

The Integrated Data Viewer (IDV) version 6.0 is now available. This release features a new grid coverage data type that eases the process of creating spatial subsets that cross grid boundaries, enhancements to the IDV's volume rendering engine, and improvements to the quality of images captured from the display. Under-the-hood improvements include a switch to the OpenJDK Java libraries and updated software certificates. In addition, this release includes updates to existing features and incorporates the latest netCDF-Java library.
Version 5.0.1 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 NCO project is coordinated by Professor Charlie Zender of the Department of Earth System Science, University of California, Irvine. More information about the project, along with binary and source downloads, are available on the SourceForge project page.
AWIPS 18.2.1-1 is a major update to both EDEX and CAVE (on Windows, MacOS, and Centos7/RHEL7). The linux awips_install.sh script has been updated to remove old versions of CAVE and EDEX before installing new versions and backup some /awips2 configuration files.
